Meatballs

by www.trainermomma.com

2 lbs lean ground turkey (lean ground beef would be fine too)

3 egg whites

3/4 cups whole wheat bread crumbs

1/3 cup water

3/4 of an onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/3 cup dried parsley

3 tsp dried basil

1 1/2 tsp ground pepper

Preheat oven broiler.

Just mix all ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl (the hands work best -- blaaaaah! I hate that part!).  Shape into balls about 1 1/2 inch in diameter.

Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.  Arrange meatballs on baking sheet, then place under broiler for a total of 12-15 minutes.  After about 6 minutes, remove from oven, rotate the meatballs, then put them back in the oven until they are cooked on all sides.

Makes around 60-65 meatballs at 27 calories per meatball.

1/3 cup baking cocoa

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 brown sugar

Mix all ingredients minus the chocolate chips until combined.  Spread evenly into a greased 9x13 pan.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over top of batter.

Cook at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes.  To check, insert toothpick and it should come out clean.

Trainer Momma Tip:  ** This must cool COMPLETELY before you cut and eat it.  I like to make it at night, let it cool overnight, then serve it the next day.  It just doesn't taste the same warm.**
