Turkey Meatballs!

These are a yummy, portable protein!

Ingredients:
1lb ground turkey
2 slices whole wheat bread, cut into tiny cubes OR whole wheat breadcrumbs, 1/2 C
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped into 1/4" pieces
italian seasoning
a few pinches salt and pepper
1-2 eggs
optional: 1/4 C parmesan cheese
also optional: 2 handfuls fresh spinach

Preheat oven to 350.
Drizzle a little olive oil in a pan and cook the onion until it is translucent. If using spinach, turn off the heat and add to the pan, mixing in with the onion until it is wilted.
In a bowl, mix the turkey, bread crumbs, garlic, cooked onion (and spinach if using), italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and 1 egg very well. Also add parmesan if you are using it. Use your hands to really get it all mixed up! If its feels too dry add another egg. If it feels too wet add some more breadcrumbs.
Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.  Make golf-ball sized meatballs and space them evenly on the pan. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until its done all the way through and is a little crispy on the outside. You may need to do two batches.  Makes about 28 meatballs.

When you eat them, keep in mind that there is a bit of fat and carbs in them, so adjust the rest of your meal accordingly.

Make sure to plan out your meals so that one of your meals is just as these are coming out of the oven. Yum. Also really good cold.
