I found the recipe for the turkey balls on Dr. Oz's website and then I made a few minor adjustments. The turkey was super light and fluffy and really filling. Definitely recommend them!
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground turkey
2/3 cup cooked quinoa
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1 lb lean ground turkey
2/3 cup cooked quinoa
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Thoroughly cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or cooking spray. In a large bowl add ground turkey, quinoa, red onion, garlic, oregano, egg, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine. Roll into 1 to 1-1/2 inch balls and add to prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Bake for around 30 minutes until the meatballs are firm and cooked throughout.

I served mine in a whole wheat pita with baby spinach and Tzatziki sauce (garlic cucumber dip). Trader Joe's sells a little tub all ready to go. I also made homemade skin on sweet potato fries, which is easy - just slice up potatoes and coat in 1 tablespoon olive oil and sea salt. Bake for 30 minutes. You can cook them the same time as your turkey balls and they will be done at the same time! BOOM!
