Pistachio Crusted Baked Turkey Meatball


We had a fried meat ball of some sort at the Vendy Awards in Philly a few weekends ago and inside was a pistachio. Then we started thinking-- what if we crushed them and rolled a turkey ball in it and baked them? So yeah... then we made this. Served on top of cauliflower puree. Super healthy!

Ingredients
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 piece whole wheat bread, diced
1 pound ground turkey

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients less 1/4 cup pistachios and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. Combine leftover ingredients into a shallow bowl. Shape turkey mixture into 1-in. balls. Roll in remaining pistachio mixture. Place meatballs on baking pan. Bake 18-20 minutes or until cooked through.
