Turkey Falafel Muffins

I am loving my mini cupcake pan... so much I practically use it every other day, but not for cupcakes...for dinner!

This is a take on tradition falafel balls. Falafel balls are just chickpeas with spices, these contain ground turkey (ground chicken would work also). All you need is a good food processor. Also these tend to be on the dryer side...I served it with baba ganoush, cucumber salad and sauteed squash. You can use tzatziki sauce or even a nice tahini sauce.

1 can of organic chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1-4 Cloves of garlic (personal preference +/-)
1 -3 tsp of salt (personal preference +/-)

Pulse it up!

A handful of fresh Organic Flat Leafed Parsley.

Pulse it up!

1 lb of Ground turkey (or chicken, dark or white)
1 tbsp of Ground Cumin

Pulse it up!

Put in greased (with olive oil) muffin tins and bake for 375 for 15-25 minutes.
They should be firm to the touch and slightly bronzed.

Get Greens into your Toddler

I find it difficult to get greens into Oliver's diet... not because he is picky but because I typically eat my greens plain and that just doesn't appeal to Oliver. So I have become pretty creative with getting greens into his diet. He loves eggs... Egg yolks were his first solid food and to this day he loves his eggs in the morning. So here is how I make Green Eggs and Ham...lol (No ham in this recipe...)

Ingredients:

  • 3 organic eggs
  • handful of organic cilantro and parsley
  • fistful of organic super greens
  • organic butter
  • 1 organic garlic clove
  • Pinch of salt


Melt some butter in your pan. I can not make eggs without butter it is sacrilegious in my family to use anything else.
Chop up your herbs very finely you could even use a food processor or blender.
Grab a fistful of greens...
And chop up those bad boys too...pretty finely.
Toss all greens and herbs into the hot butter.
Press or finely grate the garlic in with a pinch of salt.
Add in your eggs. I buy super eggs at the farmers market and they are always twins.
Scramble them up...
Keep scrambling...
And there you have it green eggs.
No complaints here...
