Recipe 35: Sauteed Kale with Turkey Meatballs (BABY FOOD option included)

Sauteed Kale with Turkey Meatballs (BABY FOOD option included)
IMAGES WILL BE UPDATED SOON!

Saute Blend:
2 cups of kale
1- 10oz container of mushrooms
1/2 medium onion, sliced into thin pieces
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbs minced garlic
1 tbs water
olive oil (for cooking kale and onion/mushrooms)

Saute the onion and peppers in enough olive oil to coat pan... until it starts to carmelize, add in the kale, 1 tbs minced garlic and salt. Saute on medium, then add 1 tbs water so kale does not burn and steams a little. Continue to stir for 3-5 more minutes, until kale becomes soft.

Turkey Meatballs:
1 lb ground turkey (not turkey breast- too dry for this recipe)
2 TBS minced garlic
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp basil (dried minced)
2 FLAX "eggs" (2 flax gel eggs= 2 Tbs ground flax and 6 Tbs water) I used flax gel
1/2 cup of GF breadcrumbs (I used Gillian's)

PreHeat oven to 350
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.
Create 1 inch balls and space about 1.5" apart on a lined baking sheet.
Cook until golden (about 25 minutes)

Serve meatballs sprinkled with parmesan on top of the kale saute.


You can blend a desired portion into baby food. My son Henri loved it!!
