Turkey, Sage, and Pine Nut Meatballs with Asain Braised Greens!
I loved these Meatballs, not sure they were a favorite of my husbands since they included celery, onion, and tomatoes (3 things he doesn't like but I was trying to sneak in)! But I love him, he ate them without complaining at all! As far as the Asian Braised Greens- I made the dressing and it has a full on sesame taste to it, which was a hit all the way around the table. The recipe said to used braised chard, and quite honestly I decided I am not too big of a fan! This particular greens has a very strong, almost overbearing taste. I think if I replaced the greens and then made a little extra dressing to pour over the meatballs it would have been amazing!!!! It's just great when you can substitute red meat with some turkey (at least for me), especially since I get so much red meat from work!!!!
Let me know if you want the recipes, and I will get them posted right away!
