Turkey Swedish Meatball Muffins
Is it a meatball or is it a meat muffin? It’s a delicious Swedish Meatball Muffin!
Actually we were working on an article called “eat dinner” and decided to prepare a multi-purpose dinner for the article. A dinner that contains the same foods, but eaten in two different ways.
You may not know anyone or even notice, but there are parents that do not eat dinner with their children. They feed the kids substantial meals, but then only pick at a little food while cooking.
Here is one dinner that can easily appease both children and adults when eaten in two different ways.
Make the simple ground turkey Swedish Meatball Muffins and eat them over noodles with sauce, or in a salad with lots of veggies. We use stone ground mustard to really add flavor to these muffins without a lot of fat.
