I started the 21 Day Fix with 11 others in the test group on Monday!
While I’m sworn to secrecy on the meals and workouts on the plan, I wanted to share a yummy turkey meatball healthy recipe I tried it last week along with some of my favorite meals!
I’m linking up with Megan for What I Ate Wednesday as well — if you are a recipe hog like me, check out her blog for everyone that links up! I have started a new morning routine lately, and I’m loving it. I wake up, focus on my goals for 3 minutes and pray another 5. Why 8 minutes? It’s my iPhone snooze time.
Then, I get out of bed and go make breakfast….half asleep. I have loved having eggs and oats lately. It goes against my Whole 30, but I haven’t had any digestion or skin problems with having oats in the morning. *knock on wood*
After breakfast, I read my Bible study or catch up on emails while my breakfast settles. Then it’s workout time!
Yesterday was day 2 of the 21 Day Fix, and my poor braid died halfway through. My hair is getting so thick and long though that it’s hard to keep in a ponytail too.
Lunch was a veggie salad…pretty good!
You’d never know these Turkey Meatballs are healthy! They are so easy to make and yummy. Pair with a side of frozen veggies or mashed cauliflower.
Yummy Turkey Meatballs
Ingredients:
1.5 lb turkey
1 cup oats
3 T of canned dice tomatoes (I bought the chili seasoned for a spicy effect)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 table spoon italian spice
1/2 table spoon chopped garlic
1 egg
To Prepare:
Mix all of the ingredients together and turn the oven to 425 degrees. Form the mixture into balls and place on a cookie sheet. It should make 18-20 turkey meatballs. Place on the cookie sheet and cook for 20 minutes.
I had two of these bad boys (hehe I know…2, get your mind out of the gutter!). I used a little hot sauce too. Yum!
Focusing on what I will eat throughout the week is the only way I can eat enough to lose fat. If I don’t, I don’t eat enough and graze throughout the day. I also find having protein with each meal really helps me stay full and have a steady amount of energy. Plus, all of these foods (even the hot sauce) help me to lose fat! :) Score!!
I’d like to have these for lunch one day this week with a side of roasted squash. How many containers is this recipe and how many meatballs am I allowed to have? Thanks for any help with this. I’m trying to keep my weekly menu interesting so I stick with this. I’m doing 21DFX by the way.
Hey Shante! 2 Meatballs are 1/2 green 1 red and 1/2 a yellow. The roasted squash would be a Green :) How is the 21 Day Fix going so far? Are you working with a coach for extra accountability?
How big do you make the meatballs? I am not much of a cook so I have no idea how much I should use to make a standard sized meatball. So having some kind of exact measurement would be great. Like is each meatball a TBSP (just for example) worth of mixture to make.
I do about a heaping spoonful and then roll into a ball. You should have 18-20 meatballs from the batter…so about 1.5 TBSP or 1/20 of the total mixture in the bowl. :)
Before meeting Kim and Kalee, I was struggling with my fitness goals. I would start out strong, but I just didn’t stay on track. With their motivation and support, I have not only stayed on track myself, but now I’m helping others reach their fitness and health goals! I’ve never felt or looked better, and I love being a part of their coaching team!

Before I met Kim & Kalee about 6 years ago, I had hit a plateau and felt very frustrated. I was doing all the ‘right’ things and still not seeing results. The girls introduced me to a whole new world of workouts! With their guidance and encouragement I found the workout I wanted to do and haven’t looked back! Through this process I have also gained 2 wonderful friends. Their love and knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Kim and Kalee Sorey are absolutely awesome! They gave me the confidence to become a coach and have been valuable mentors ever since. I strive to emulate the accepting and easy going approach that has made them wildly successful.
Never had a turkey meatball, but it looks really good.
