• 3 pounds ground turkey
  1 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 T garlic powder
• 1 egg
• 1 cup homemade bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup Italian Seasoning
• 1/4 cup prepared pesto
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
• 1 T extra-virgin olive oil

1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F 
2. Place the ground turkey, onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, seasoning, pesto, and salt in a bowl. Mix until evenly blended, then form into 1 3/4-inch meatballs. Make a hole in the meatball with your finger and place a cheese cube in the hole. Seal the meatball around the cheese and place on a nonstick baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes.

Brown Rice Salad

I make a large amount of this to keep in the fridge for a complete protien leftover. Serves about 8 (or more). Also, I soak the rice because it renders the nutrients more digestible and more easily assimilated by the body. All ingredients are *organic* Enjoy!

2 cups Brown Rice, rinse and soak for 30 min
2 Large Carrots, chopped
3 Celery Sticks, chopped
1/2 med red onion, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Garlic salt to taste (about 1-2 T)

Cook rice until soft (about 40 min with 4 cups of water) and set aside to cool off. Mix all other ingredients in a very large bowl. Add rice when cool, and adjust seasoning to taste. Cool in fridge for about an hour. This dish is intended to eat straight from the fridge.
