Ingredients
For the meatballs:
- 2 cups leftover cooked turkey
- 2 eggs
- 1 package Let’s Blend Italian finely diced mushrooms
- 1 cup cooked sweet potato, mashed
- ½ cup shredded carrots (a smaller shred is ideal but any will work)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp milk
- ½ cup leftover cooked stuffing (or breadcrumbs or oats)
For serving:
- Cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Either chop the cooked turkey finely, or place cooked turkey in the food processor and pulse a few times so it’s ground up a bit.
- In a large bowl, whisk the two eggs. Add your turkey, Let’s Blend, sweet potato, carrots, olive oil, milk, and stuffing to the bowl. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Shape into meatballs and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool before removing from pan with a spatula. Serve with cranberry sauce.
Notes
Notes:
- This recipe makes approximately 15 large meatballs, and one serving = 3 large meatballs.
- If you use breadcrumbs or oats in this instead of stuffing, you may need to add a little extra milk – as cooked stuffing already has a bit of moisture in it.
- Be sure to let the meatballs cool before removing from the pan, as it helps prevent crumbling.
