Introduction

Having to avoid pork & beef, I'm coming up with creative ways to use "different" kinds of meat. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to what you like or can tolerate. I imagine you could substitute the carrots with another vegetable such as zucchini. Parmesan cheese would be a good addition if you can have dairy.
I baked and then froze these for quick lunchbox meals.

Ingredients

    2 egg whites, whisked till frothy
    16oz ground Bison
    2 cups cooked rice (I use leftover parboiled white rice)
    1 cup shredded carrots
    1/2 tsp basil
    1/2 tsp oregano
    1 tsp minced garlic
    1/2 tsp sea salt
    Dash cayenne pepper

Directions

Place together in a medium bowl the egg whites, bison, rice and carrots, do not mix.
In a small bowl mix together the garlic and the seasonings. Add to the bison bowl and mix well with hands.

For easy cleanup, line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Form each ball with about 1/2 cup of the mixture.
You should get 15 balls.
Bake on parchment paper lined pan at 350 degrees for about 25 min.
To freeze: Let cool on the pan and then stick the whole pan in the freezer until meatballs are frozen firm. Transfer to a freezer bag and return to freezer.
