Sweet Potato and Turkey Meatball Recipe

Ingredients:

1 – Large Sweet Potato
1 lb. – Ground Turkey
1/4 Cup – Breadcrumbs
1 Egg
1/8 teaspoon – Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon – Salt
1/4 teaspoon – Pepper
Olive Oil

Wrap the raw Sweet Potato in a couple of wet paper towels. Place in a dish with a little bit of water. Microwave for 8 to 10 minutes, until sweet potato is tender.
Peel the sweet potato and mash.
Mix the mashed sweet potato, Ground Turkey, Egg, Breadcrumbs, Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper until fully incorporated.
Roll small amounts of the mixture in your hands to form meatballs.
Heat a skillet with Olive Oil over medium heat.
When the pan is hot, place a few meatballs in the skillet to brown. Do Not overcrowd the meatballs so you have room to turn and roll for browning on all sides.
Once browned, remove from skillet and place in a microwave-safe or oven-safe dish to finish cooking in your desired appliance.
If finishing the cooking by microwave, cook on high for 3 to 5 minutes, or until done.
