Colleen brought ingredients to add to your favorite meals for extra nutrition. When cooking pancakes for breakfast, Colleen suggests using Premier Protein Shakes.

If you're looking for a sweet treat like banana bread, you can add Bob's Red Mill Flour.

But if you're looking for a tasty weeknight meal for the family, check out these meatballs! Adding Pom Wonderful pomegranate juice to your meatballs adds nutrition and a sweet flavor. 

Here is the recipe for the Pom Wonderful meatballs:

POM Wonderful Glazed Party Turkey Meatballs

INGREDIENTS

1 pound ground turkey, raised without antibiotics (about 93% lean)

3/4 cup plain dry whole grain breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated red onion

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 1/3 cups unsweetened ketchup

1 cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice

1/2 cup no-sugar-added apricot fruit spread

1 scallion, extra-thinly sliced

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, salt, and pepper. Form into 24 meatballs, about 1 rounded tablespoon each. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the ketchup, pomegranate juice, and apricot fruit spread until well combined. Cook until lightly bubbling, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Working quickly and carefully, place meatballs into the simmering sauce one at a time. Gently shake pan to assure all meatballs are submerged in sauce. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until well done, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes to complete the cooking process.
  • Serve warm with small bamboo picks or toothpicks. Garnish with the scallion.
