Serves 2.
The other day I was trying to figure out what kind of food I was in the mood for…I took out a pound of ground turkey that morning with no real plan in mind. Quite honestly, I wasn’t excited about anything I could think of to make with it. Then it hit me that pasta and meatballs was EXACTLY what I wanted. The only problem was I was feeling much too lazy to go through all my usual steps in making meatballs. Typically I make them and brown them on all sides in a pan and then cook them the rest of the way in the sauce. That just seemed like way too much work. So I figured, why couldn’t I just make them in a muffin tin? They probably would’t get as brown and crispy on the outside…but that was a risk my lazy self was willing to take!
I preheated my oven to 350 degrees and then I mixed my pound of ground turkey with oatmeal, an egg,frozen pre-chopped onions (great hack! keep these in your freezer and add to dishes when you don’t feel like cutting up a whole onion), Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and italian seasonings. Then I rolled them into balls and plopped them into a muffin tin, sprayed with coconut oil.
So as I was browsing the gluten free aisle at Big Y the other week, I decided to look at the instant oatmeal section. I tend to steer away from the pre-packaged single serving oatmeals because usually they have SO MUCH sugar. I’d rather just make my own and add in some natural sweetness. But, plot twist, Ancient Harvest has an Ancient Grain instant oatmeal with 0 sugar in it! So great and convenient. Plus it’s a little different than regular old oatmeal. Love.
