Meatballs are always a hit with the family and today's recipe is no exception. These turkey meatballs provide 20% of your daily iron and a punch of protein to keep you full and satisfied.
SOUTHWEST MEATBALLS
1 lb. lean ground turkey breast
2 large egg whites
1/4 c. whole wheat bread crumbs
1/4 tsp. each each salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. olive oil
1 c. frozen yellow or white corn
1 (15oz.) low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
2 c. diced vine tomatoes
1/2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro
In a large bowl, combine turkey, egg whites, bread crumbs, salt and pepper and mix well. Shape into 16 meatballs, each about the size of a golf ball.
In a large skillet, heat oil on MEDIUM-HIGH. Add meatballs and cook, turning frequently, until browned on all sides, 3-5 minutes. Add corn, beans, tomatoes, broth, lime juice, and cumin and mix. Reduce heat to medium, partially cover and cook for 3-5 more minutes, until meatballs are cooked through. To serve stir in cilantro.
