💪 Muscle Meatballs
If you’re looking for a high-protein, low-fat meal that doesn’t compromise on flavor, these Muscle Meatballs are just what you need! 🦃 Packed with lean turkey, egg whites, and wholesome ingredients like oats and flaxseed, this recipe is perfect for meal prep, post-workout meals, or a healthy dinner option any day of the week.
🥣 What Makes These Meatballs Special
Unlike traditional meatballs that rely on breadcrumbs and fatty meats, this recipe uses toasted wheat germ, quick oats, and flaxseed for a nutrient boost. These ingredients not only add texture and flavor but also increase fiber content — helping you stay fuller for longer.
And with the use of liquid egg whites instead of whole eggs, you get a protein-packed meal that’s low in cholesterol and fat, making it ideal for anyone looking to stay lean and energized. ⚡
🍽️ Step-by-Step Highlights
- Preheat & Prep – Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Mix It Up – Combine lean turkey, egg whites, oats, flaxseed, wheat germ, Parmesan, and seasonings in a large bowl.
- Shape & Bake – Roll the mixture into 16 meatballs, bake for 7 minutes, then flip and bake for another 8–13 minutes until cooked through.
The result? Juicy, protein-rich meatballs that pair perfectly with quinoa, steamed veggies, or a side of marinara. 🍅
🧠 Pro Tip
For added flavor, mix in fresh herbs like parsley or oregano, or brush the meatballs with a touch of sriracha-honey glaze before baking for a sweet-spicy kick. 🌶️🍯
