Ingredients
-
Ground turkey, 93% lean, 8 oz
Mushrooms 1/2c chopped
Red pepper, 4oz chopped
Carrot 1/4c grated and chopped
Panko Bread Crumbs, 2 ounces

Celery leaf, 2oz finely chopped
Parsley leaf, 4 oz finely chopped
1T Herbs de Provence
1t cumin

Chicken stock as needed
Tips
Allow meatballs to firm in freezer for 10 min so they don't fall apart in pan as you cook. This also allows you to NOT use as much bread crumb mix with increases the carb count. Also, while my measurements may be off a bit (as the site doesn't allow for changes once an ingredient is suggested) you may have to play with this to get the right texture for your taste. Also, I had this for lunch with some random co-jack cheese--i think this would be much better served with a Gruyere or other fancy cheese, at least when its made with the HdP seasoning. Hope you enjoy!
Directions
In a food processor, pulse mushrooms, peppers, carrot celery and parsley to a rough chop.
