Extra fat from olive oil and butter gives these turkey meatballs infused with cottage cheese the fat your body craves. Use this trick of adding cooking fat to your meatballs when cooking with lean cuts of meat, such as light-meat turkey, chicken and even bison.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1 pound of ground turkey
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons ghee or butter, melted
½ cup full-fat cottage cheese
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons ghee or butter
1 medium whole scallion, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Gently combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and form 12 small meatballs with your hands.

Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake until browned, about 20 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes.

Serve over a bed of veggies, storing any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Enjoy!
