Last night, I picked up ground turkey from the gourmet market on my corner and I couldn’t resist creating a tasty dinner with it…I debated a turkey loaf, turkey mini loaves and turkey balls.  Well, the balls won out and they were amazing.

I crushed a handful of gluten-free pretzels for a unique texture to these balls…I also opted for a touch of sweetness by incorporating the sherry, agave nectar, stevia and dried cranberries.  These turkey balls were a perfect dinner served atop a bed of sauteed vegetables and Greek yogurt dipping sauce.  The best part?  I made just enough to bring the leftovers for my lunch tomorrow…

My philosophy: Cook once, eat twice…can’t beat it!
