Easy Weeknight Dinner: High-Protein Turkey Meatballs for Batch Cooking

If you’re anything like me, your weeknight dinner routine involves a combination of frantic ingredient gathering, questionable takeout menus, and a deep sigh of relief when the timer finally goes off. We are all heroes in the kitchen, running on fumes and sheer love for our families.

But what if the effort you put into feeding your family every single night could actually pay you back? We’ve all been there: the recipe is great, the batch is perfect, but you're left with enough extras to feed a whole neighborhood. That's where the Rogue Chefs come in. We're turning necessary meal prep into profit.

Recipe Spotlight: Healthy Turkey Meatballs

These meatballs are incredibly versatile, packed with protein, and take minimal effort. They are ideal for batch cooking—meaning you can make enough for tonight's family meal, and then double that batch for your neighbors, too!

Ingredients You'll Need

• 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey (or ground beef if preferred)
• 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
• 1 egg
• Garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix It Up: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, onion soup mix, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until thoroughly mixed.
2. Form & Prep: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into uniform meatballs.
3. Cook: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the meatballs in a muffin tin or on a baking sheet.
