ingredients


Meatballs

1/2 pound lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Moroccan spice blend*
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest

Salad and Dressing

4 cups looseleaf lettuce, washed and patted or spun dry
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons flavorful olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Line a rimmed baking tray with non-stick foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.

Remove the ground turkey from the refrigerator 15 minutes before preparing the meatballs.

Put the breadcrumbs in a medium size mixing bowl, add the spice blend and gently stir to blend.

Add the lemon juice, beaten egg white, and lemon zest to the breadcrumbs and gently blend together.

Add the ground turkey and, working gently so as not to compact the meat, combine all ingredients using a fork or your hands.

Make meatballs of equal size (2 per serving) with the turkey mixture.

Place the meatballs on the foil lined tray and lightly spray them lightly with cooking spray.

Bake the meatballs for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through.

When the meatballs are finished, remove them from the oven and let them rest as you prepare the salad.

Put the lettuce in a large bowl.

Wisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and honey in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the lettuce and toss gently.

Add the salt and pepper to taste.

Place 1/2 of the salad on each individual serving plates and place 2 meatballs to the side of the salad.
