Southwest Meatball Skillet

Southwest Meatball Skillet

::INGREDIENTS::

• 1 lb ground turkey breast

• 2 large egg whites

• 1/4 cup whole-wheat bread crumbs

• 1/4 tsp sea salt

• 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

• 2 tsp olive oil

• 1 cup frozen yellow or white corn

• 1 15-oz BPA-free can low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed well

• 2 cups diced vine-ripened tomatoes

• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

::Directions::

1. In a large bowl, combine turkey, egg whites, bread crumbs, salt and pepper and mix well. Shape into 16 meatballs, each about the size of a golf ball.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil on medium-high. Add meatballs and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, turning frequently, until browned on all sides. Add corn, beans, tomatoes, broth, lime juice and cumin and mix well. Reduce heat to medium, partially cover and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through. Stir in cilantro and serve.

**TIP**
To ensure your meatballs boast their best flavor, create a caramelized crust by first searing them on all sides until they’re golden brown.
