Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 green bell pepper, chopped

2 tbsp flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp white pepper

1 20-oz can pineapple tidbits

1/2 cup orange juice

2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 of the recipe ‘Healthy Meatballs’ (recipe is included here) – baked

4 cups hot, cooked brown rice.

======================================

Ingredients for Healthy Meatballs:

(This recipe serves 12, and yields 36 meatballs)

1 egg white

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 slice cracked wheat French bread

1/2 cup finely-shredded carrot

1/4 cup tomato juice

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp white pepper

1/2 tsp dried marjoram

1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 1/2 lbs ground turkey breast

Directions

For light & sour:

In large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add onion & garlic; cook and stir for 4 minutes.

Sprinkle with flour, salt and pepper.

Cook until bubbly, about 3 minutes.

Add pineapple tidbits with their liquid, the orange juice, soy sauce, cider vinegar, and sugar.

Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves.

Simmer for 5 minutes.

Add 3/4 of the meatballs from the ‘healthy meatballs’ recipe to the sauce. (Remaining meatballs may be frozen for another use)

Stir gently and bring back to a simmer.

Simmer 5 to 7 minutes, until meatballs are hot.

Serve immediately over rice.

======================================

For ‘Healthy Meatballs’:

Preheat oven to 400*F.

In large bowl, combine all ingredients except ground turkey; mix well.

Now add the turkey, and mix until well combined.

Shape into 36 meatballs, about 1 inch wide each.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick coating & arrange meatballs about 1 inch apart from each other.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden, and they register 165 on a meat thermometer.

Drain on wire rack over paper toweling.

I always said only Mom could make sweet and sour meatballs the best, but it looks like this may beat her record. PLEASE don't tell her I said that.
She'll kill me!
But it looks real good and five points.
