A lighter version of Italian meatballs that go well with pasta. Serve with spaghetti and sauce or any other pasta. Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can butter beans, rinsed and drained |
1 1/4 pounds extra-lean ground turkey breast |
1 egg white, beaten |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 cup italian bread crumbs |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Mash butter beans in a large mixing bowl. Add ground turkey, egg white, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; stir until evenly mixed. Fold bread crumbs into mixture evenly.
2. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Cook meatballs in hot oil until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Cover the skillet and continue cooking until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
