I wanted to learn how to cook healthy and got this inspiration from googling what to do with meatballs... I'm trying to stay away from salt and learning to proportion properly and thought this was a wonderful idea to a start for healthy eating and living; or close to it lol

Steps

20 mins

1

Heat oven to 350°
2

Chop half of an onion and half of a bell pepper... for those halves you'll placed one-half aside for meat & the other half for the pan... or you can use a whole onion & whole bell pepper & chop in halves - one section for meat & the other section placed aside
3

Grab a bowl for the ground turkey & mix meat, seasonings, egg, 6 crackers or oatmeal, and chopped onion & bell pepper... mix ingredients & then add more seasonings if preferred
4

Grab a pan that's big enough to hold 10 to 13 meatballs; cover the pan in foil end to end & place 5 Tb of butter or margarine in the pan along with the other portion of chopped onion & bell pepper, & place in oven to melt butter
5

Remove pan as soon as butter is completely melted & place meatballs in the pan (roll meatballs in butter); pan should be covered end to end with 10 to 13 meatballs (or however many desired or able to make), & then sprinkle just enough frozen peas to cover the pan as well end to end... do not need a whole lot of peas just a little; place pan back in oven
6

On the stove top grab a small pot and add 1 cup of Minute brown rice & just enough water to cover the rice but not drowning the rice (if that makes sense) & cook on medium to high heat; will need to watch because when water cooks all the way out, place a lid on the pot & let sit until ready for use
7

One hour & thirty minutes for meatballs to cook (or until they have a crispy-brown like texture) & remove from oven
8

Grab a plate & bed the plate with the mixed greens or lettuce; add a little brown rice over the greens to cover a little bit; place three meatballs in the center of rice to cover, & place peas and onion & bell pepper along the sides for the pretty look (or garnish)... bon apetite
