QUICK & EASY WEEKNIGHT DINNER - Homemade Turkey Meatballs
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 egg
2-3 cloves fresh garlic minced
1 tbs corn starch
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbs olive oil
Salt + pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat over to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl combine all ingredients (except olive oil). Kneed mixture with hands until all ingredients are combined.
Portion about 1/4 cup of meatball mixture and roll between two hands creating a small sphere. Continue until all mixture is gone.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs to skillet and cook until browned on all sides, occasionally turning each meatball (not cooking all the way through).
Once each meatball is browned on each side, evenly place meatballs on a baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet with meatballs in the oven. Cook for 15 minutes.
Pair my homemade turkey meatballs with my homemade pesto. A delicious combination! Enjoy!

Before using fitness devices and apps, ask yourself whether your motive is related to body dissatisfaction or health. Being self-aware of your feelings can help you recognize if using a health tracker is impacting you in a positive or negative way. If you notice that you are obsessed with tracking and it is interfering with your life, you may want to listen to your body instead. Your body has the ability to tell you what foods and movements feel right for you. When you implement mindful eating and movement, these parts of your life become much more flexible and enjoyable.
