Turkey Meatballs in Coconut Oil

Turkey Meatballs grilled in Olive Oil

This is a really quick way to enjoy some lean ground turkey. I used the same recipe mix to cook the meat two different ways. For simplicity of each post I'll cover the Turkey Meatloaf in a 2nd post.

These were a cross between meatballs and burgers. The consistency of the ground turkey mixture was soft enough taht itwas easier to form balls and drop them in the pan. But as they cooked i worried that they wouldn't cook through so I flattened them a bit. No matter what you call them, this is still a GREAT way to enjoy some lean turkey meat.
