Ingredients

• 1/2 bunch broccoli

• 2 pounds ground turkey

• 1 cup instant oatmeal (quick oats)

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

• Ranch salad dressing

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line two sheet pans with parchment, reserve.

2. Using a knife or food processor, finely chop broccoli to the size of rice, until you have 2 cups.

3. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, oatmeal, eggs, salt and pepper and mix. Add the broccoli and cheddar and mix well.

4. Use a 2-tablespoon-sized scoop to portion and shape into 1-inch balls. Place on the sheet pans, taking care that the meatballs don’t touch each other.

5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in a meatball registers 165 F.

Serving Suggestion

Serve with toothpicks and a bowl of ranch dressing for dipping.
