I can rarely eat ground beef now.  One of two things happens, I take two bites and I am full or I take two bites and I dump, either way, I have officially given up on ground beef.  I use ground turkey and pork.

One of my favourite meals has always been meatballs and sauce and of course pasta.  I skip the pasta now and just enjoy the meatballs and sauce.  

I find ground turkey is too dry for my pouch so I mix it with some ground pork and it seems to work.  

My basic meatballs, which we have eaten since the soft food stage:

one pound each of ground turkey and pork, tablespoon or more of pepper and garlic powder....and that's it!  No breadcrumbs, no eggs, just meat.  

I brown them in a bit of olive oil in a pan and then put them on paper towel and finish them in a 350 oven for about 20-30 minutes.  

I top them with my homemade tomato sauce - that recipe is for another post.
