Ingredients:
3/4 tsp Ground Flax Seed
2 tsps Water
4 ozs Extra Lean Ground Turkey
1/4 Apple (medium, cored, grated)
1/2 Garlic (clove, minced)
1 1/2 tsps Rosemary (finely chopped)
Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
1/2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Egg
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the ground flax seed and water. Let it sit for five minutes.
3. Add the turkey to the bowl with the flax seed. Squeeze out the excess juice from the apple and discard the juice. Add the apple to the turkey along with the garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
4. Mix well using your hands. Form into balls approximately 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) in diameter. Transfer the meatballs to the oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until cooked through.
5. Meanwhile, in a large pan, add the oil and cook the eggs until the whites have set and the yolks reach your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Divide the meatballs and eggs evenly between plates and enjoy!
