Recipes and Foods For The Milk Free

I made myself an excellent dairy free recipe for lunch today with some extra ground turkey I had thawed for dinner tonight (Shepards Pie Recipe coming soon!).   I am a meatball fanatic, or I should say I am recently a meatball fanatic.  When I was young I wouldn’t eat any meatball, even in the Spaghetti-O’s.  I have found in the last year that I like experimenting with many different varieties of balls of meat. 

Today’s meatball was made with ground turkey, making it a bit healthier than your normal meatball.  I added way way way to much garlic and I didn’t really measure as I was going so some of this will be trial and error.

Dairy Free Recipe : Turkey Meatballs and Pasta

Made two servings 

Ingredients for Turkey Meatballs

1/4 pound ground turkey

3 tbsp chopped carrots

3 tbsp chopped celery

3 tbsp chopped onion

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/8 cup bread crumbs

Ingredients for Pasta

1 cup noodles  (boil according to package instructions)

1/4 can of red kidney beans

1/4 can of creamed corn

1/4 can of stewed tomatoes

Directions

Mix all of the meatball ingredients together and form into small meatballs.

Fry the meatballs in a small amount of oil.

Throw creamed corn, tomatoes, kidney beans and cooked meatballs in with the pasta and mix together.  Heat through and serve.

I’m not sure what the health value is on this with the creamed corn but it does have a lot of veggies in it so I’m thinking if you made it a full meal with a salad it wouldn’t be too bad.  What do you think?
