Lamb Turkey Meatballs Meal Prep
Ingredients
- 1lb 85% ground lamb
- 1lb 93% ground turkey
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 tablespoon dried garlic & herb blend
dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric *
- 1/2 cup quinoa crisps or breadcrumbs
- pinch of sea salt & pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley *
Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 450F (232C).
Step 2
Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl and gently massage the seasonings into the meat.
Pro-tip: for best results, once the meat is mixed, cover and place the meat in the fridge to marinate for 4 hours or overnight.
Step 3
Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper. Use an ice cream scoop to keep the meatballs uniform in size. Scoop out equal sized portions of meat and place on parchment paper.
Pro-tip: place the meatballs in the sheet pan and ensure they touch each other. This is a tip by Michael Chernow, also known as the meatball king, to keep the moisture inside of the meatballs.
Step 4
Bake for 12 – 15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.
Step 5
Once cooled, add the meatballs to an airtight container. They will last 5 – 7 days in the fridge and 2 – 3 months in the freezer.
