turkey and stuffing meatball bowls
it's me Rachel! 👋 with a slight rebrand
Happy Sunday and welcome to R&R. I’m so glad you’re here 🫶
I’ll start by saying I promise not to do this frequently, but as a Sagittarius who loves change, and a perfectionist who is constantly overthinking her business, lately I’ve been overthinking R&R and what it’s evolving into. While I do love the name R&R, I no longer think it accurately reflects what I share, so I’m switching things up!
With that, welcome to the new and improved:
Other than the name, not much is changing. The name better reflects my mission which is to give you uncomplicated recipes + cooking tips to help you get dinner sorted. I’ll still be sharing a paid subscriber exclusive dinner recipe every Sunday that will be simple, delicious, as easy as possible and will hopefully wow anyone who tries it (including you). Plus all the behind the scenes fun I usually share. I mostly just wanted to give you the heads up for when you see a new weird email in your inbox on Sunday mornings.
In other news, this week was a whirlwind. I started the week with a comedown from hosting an early Thanksgiving last Sunday. Did a quick trip down to the states mid-week to stock up on all my non-Canadian essentials (my quarterly Trader Joe’s and Target run). And ended the week in hell 🥲 with a 36 hour-clear liquid diet for a medical procedure (if you know, you know, and if you don’t, well you might not want to know - but don’t worry I’m fine ❤️) which was promptly followed by a damn good sandwich. Unfortunately, all this chaos didn’t leave much time to film, but fear not I do have a recipe for you today and it is delicious! And I will be posting the video for it later this week.
This week’s dinner, sorted is inspired from my Thanksgiving dinner last weekend: turkey, stuffing and sweet potatoes. One of my first viral recipes was actually stuffing flavored meatballs using Stouffer’s boxed mix. This is an updated, lightened up, and elevated version that comes bowl-ified with salad, yam fries, and a dip of course.
To make things easy as can be, I used dried spices (except for 1) to reduce the chopping required, and I use premade balsamic glaze as the salad dressing. The most complicated thing here is shaping the meatballs, and you can even simplify that by using a cookie scoop.
I highly recommend doubling or tripling this recipe, the meatballs are just as good if not better leftover, which is saying a lot because normally I find poultry … not great as a leftover.
