Turkey and Kale Meatballs

I don't know where this genius idea came from, but some of the best recipes come from whatever you have on hand. How can I make meatballs healthy?? I've slowly been exploring the world of paleo after a few health issues, so my goal has been to focus on making all meals more filling sans carbs. These were super delicious and super easy. A winning combination.


INGREDIENTS

1 lb ground turkey 
1/2 of a large minced onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup chopped kale
1/2 cup thinly sliced baby bellas
1/2 tsp finely ground himalayan pink salt


1. Preheat a cast iron (I use this one), or other heavy bottom, skillet over medium heat
2. Add onions, garlic, kale and salt to ground turkey in a large mixing bowl


3. Blend all ingredients through meat with mixing hand, until well mixed


4. Form 9-10 meatballs, and place in pan gently, as to keep the shape of the meatballs


5. Let cook until one side is well browned, about 7-10 minutes. 
6. Add mushrooms to skillet, lower heat slightly 


7. Stir frequently, while allowing meatballs to continue to brown and without breaking the meatballs.
8. Once mushrooms have browned, and all sides of meatballs are brown,10 additional minutes, remove and serve!

Serve with red sauce, white sauce, over pasta, over a cold pasta salad, in a sandwich, whatever your heart desires!
