INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground turkey (93% lean)

0.25 cup cottage cheese

0.5 cup grated sweet potato

0.5 cup grated carrot

1 large egg

1 tsp olive oil

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated sweet potato, grated carrot, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat to ensure a light texture.

• 4

  Scoop and roll the mixture into 10 uniform meatballs and arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

• 5

  Lightly brush the tops of the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown beautifully in the oven.

• 6

  Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 7

  Remove from the oven and serve the hot meatballs with the cottage cheese on the side for a protein-packed dipping sauce.
