Remembering all the angel babes...

❤️❤️I have been meaning to join in on the Capture Your Grief daily posts and share about my sweet angel RJ who made me a mama...but my heart has just been holding my mems close these last few days. 

Reading other angel mamas stories, seeing beautiful pics of sleeping babes and reflecting on my motherhood journey has me feeling all the feels ❤️💔.

Grief is one complex, life-altering thing--that's for sure!!

Another for sure--I wouldn't have survived it without all the amazing women in my life! Cheering me on, crying with me, serving me in ways I didn't know I needed 👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭.

I'm working on a post for tomorrow--because my RJ boy deserves to be remembered, honored and TALKED about!! 👼

I make dinner sometimes....

Asian Turkey Meatballs

After getting some only sorta clean chicken meatballs at Costco a few weeks ago I knew I needed to up my meal prep game and make a HUGE batch of my favorite turkey meatballs. When we were doing Whole 30 we started making this recipe as more of a stir-fry since we couldn't use a grain as a binder---and it was a lot quicker to just put it all in a pan!

But the meatballs are delish and still pretty simple....so I decided putting the time in was gonna be worth the yummy return!

Since they are Redd approved I decided that could confidently share the recipe with ya'll ;)

Asian Turkey Meatballs

Meatball Ingredients:

1/4 c gluten free oatmeal ground in blender

1 1/4 lbs of lean ground turkey {pic of brand I use below}

1 egg

1 TBSP minced ginger or 1 tsp powdered ginger

1  minced garlic clove {I used 1 TBSP of garlic olive oil instead so it was lower fodmap!}

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro

3 chopped green onions

1 TBSP coconut aminos {can sub low sodium soy sauce}

2 tsp sesame oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500. Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Form into meatballs a little bigger than a golf ball. Bake for about 20 mins or until the edges are a little crispy brown and an internal temp of 165.

Dipping Sauce Ingredients:

3 TBSP coconut aminos {can sub low sodium soy sauce}

1 1/2 tsp sesame oil

2 TBSP fresh lime juice

1 1/2 TBSP water

1 TBSP chopped green onions

Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Enjoy on top of meatballs! We usually eat with zoodles but they are also yummy on top of rice and cauliflower rice!

Redd couldn't get them in his mouth fast enough <3

Got this 3 pack at Costco and it was the perfect amount for me to triple the recipe!
