The countdown to the Paleo challenge continues. (Starts June 1st) Some of you might be thinking, I can't do this, or maybe its, I don't want to do this. Well, either way it's all about preparation. And we are here to help.
This past weekend I participated in the Southwest CrossFit regional competition. Wow, what a weekend. So many amazing athletes and so much support from the crowd, volunteers, judges and competitors. It's amazing what all that support can help you do. This past weekend was truly all about preparation. In my preparation for the competition I have been upping my weights during the daily WODS, and doing more body weight exercises likes dips, pull ups and handstand push ups on my own, but the one thing I didn't do much prep for was Muscle ups. Yep..... and that's what got me. Goes to show its all about preparation.
Now onto the meat of the post:
Here at Sweet Cheeks HQ we are addicted to nuts and balls! Give us pecans, walnuts, almonds or coconuts and we'll eat them. We also love our meat, we've concocted many different balls in the past, here are just a couple: Asian turkey meatballs, Tasty turkey meatballs. I thought we'd give you this tasty ball recipe that you can use now or next month. I served with with some broccoli and used a little mustard (not paleo, I know) who needs sauce when they are this good. Give them a try and let me know if you like these balls
What you'll need for the meatballs
Preheat oven to 350 degree
- 1 package ground turkey
- 1 package sweet italian sausage (remove from casings)
- 1/2 large yellow onion minced
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c almond meal
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil
- tin foil
Mix all ingredients together and form small balls. Place in fry pan on medium high heat with olive oil and brown the outside. When all meatballs are brown, place them in baking dish and cover with foil and bake for appx 25min until meat is cooked throughly.
Done, now enjoy your balls.
