I found that whenever I have healthy food (already made) on hand, it makes it so much easier to ensure I am getting the right amount calories as well as eating enough for the day. One of the easiest and yummiest things I try to keep on hand are turkey meatballs! These delicious treats can be added to any meal or be eaten on their own. I will make them the night before or when I have about 45 minutes to spare in between other things I have to do around the house. Recipe: 1 pound of lean ground turkey (you can use chicken or meat if you prefer; I just feel you get more bang for your buck with turkey with it having more protein and less calories per fat) ¼ cup of oats ½ of marinara, tomato sauce ¼ cup of egg whites 1 table spoon of garlic 1 table spoon of coriander 1 table spoon of oregano 1 tea spoon of cumin (I really love to use all sorts of spices and for me the more, the merrier!) I will mix all in a bowl and let marinate for about 30 minutes in the fridge. Once that is complete; turn on the oven to 325 – 350 degrees (I cook at a lower temperature for a longer time, seems to cook the meat evenely as well as comes out so much more juicer). I will scoop out about a table spoon each and roll up the meatballs on a baking sheet. Cover and cook for 35 minutes Once they are done, I let them cool down and store in the fridge. Whenever I need to add protein to a meal or hungry, I can easily grab for these and just pop them in my mouth. A little bit of a prep work will definitly go a long way! Remember failure to plan is planning to fail! #strongsexysisters #eatclean #workoutfilthy #chefchampess #recipes #easyeating
