Okay…I got a little "creative" today when trying to use up the leftovers I had from the meals we had this week. It's similar to the Turkey Meatball recipe I posted earlier in the week…with a TWIST! I am SO proud of myself…I'm normally not creative because I'm afraid I will waste food when not following a recipe. But, it turned out AMAZING! It's also very versatile….make it & allow your family to choose how to eat it. In a bowl alone (like me), in a tortilla or wrap or top your Nachos with it!
This is also a COMPLETE meal when ate ALONE! Complex carbs, lean protein, healthy fats & low cal!
