Want easy, healthy & delicious meatballs with a side of kale chips and garlic mashed potatoes? Look no further! Be sure to check it out below:

Ingredients:

• Mushrooms

• Onions

• Eggs

• Olive oil spray (can also use canola, avocado, etc.)

• Italian breadcrumbs

• Ground turkey

• Marinara/tomato sauce

• Seasonings: black pepper, salt, garlic powder. Recommended: Italian herb blend

Additional ingredients for the sides (optional):

Kale chips:

• Bag of Kale (any kind is fine, but I prefer curly kale)

• Olive oil

• Optional: chopped mushrooms

• Seasonings: salt, black pepper and garlic powder

Garlic Mashed potatoes:

• Potatoes (I prefer red potatoes)

• Milk (can substitute non-dairy like almond, soy, etc.)

• Plain Greek yogurt (can be nonfat)

• Seasonings: black pepper, garlic powder, salt, Italian herb blend

Cooking steps:

1. Turkey Meatballs: In a large pot, fill it up at least ½ way with water and place on the stove to boil. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit

2. Spray 2 large pans with non-stick cooking spray (I prefer olive oil non-stick spray)

3. While the water is getting hot and the oven is preheating, start prepping pans. First I start with the meatballs since they take longer.

4. In a large bowl, combine these ingredients:

• ¼ chopped mushrooms

• ¼ chopped onion

• 1 egg

• 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs

• 1 cup marinara/tomato sauce

• 1 Tsp. of: salt, black pepper and garlic powder

Combine all ingredients, thoroughly mixed. Using a spoon or 1 tbsp. Sized scoop, make evenly sized meatballs on the pan. Put in the oven and bake for 15-20 min. (baking times can vary upon oven)

1. Kale Chips: On the sprayed sheet pan, spread out the kale evenly into 1 layer (if too much on top of each other, it may not cook evenly). Once you layer the kale, add:

• Drizzle 1 Tbsb. Olive oil

• ¼ cup chopped mushrooms (can also add peppers, onions, etc.)

• ¼ tbsp. Of the following: salt, black pepper and garlic powder

With your hands or tongs, evenly mix the kale chips. Put in the oven and bake for 8-12 min. (baking times can vary upon oven and desired crispiness levels)

1. Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Once the water is boiling, drop in the washed and cut potatoes (recommended: cut the potatoes into ⅓ or ¼ to cook faster). Once in boiling water, cook for 15-20 min, stirring occasionally. To check if they are done, pull out a potato piece and stick a fork in. If the fork goes in all the way and it easily breaks apart, it it most likely ready. Once ready, drain the potatoes in a strainer and add back to the original pot. In the pot with the potatoes combine and mash:

• ¼ cup milk

• 1-2 Tbsp. plain Greek yogurt

• Seasonings: ½ tbsp. Black pepper, salt, garlic powder, Italian herb blend (recommended: ¼ Tbsp. ranch seasoning from Trader Joe’s)

Enjoy!
