When you feel like something fun for dinner, make meatballs. Even better you can slice them up and put them on a pita for lunch. These meatballs are great for kids too.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey or chicken.
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 egg lightly beaten
1 cup oat bran or ezekiel bread crumbs
2 tbsp fresh parsely, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh oregano finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, passed through a garlic press
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

I am going to make these for lunch with a whole grain pita, some low sodium tomato sauce, a sprinkle of low fat mozzarella cheese and some lettuce.
