I’ve been in an overall cooking rut lately. Thankfully, my friend Leslie Stoke posted a turkey meatball recipe that looked so delicious, I had to try it. I used ground chicken instead but mostly stuck to her original recipe. I was able to meal prep four individual meals and make one full dinner for the family. The kids enjoyed it and even requested it again for next week, a definite win! You can find the recipe for the meatballs and salad below.
