It's all about the meatballs.

Turkey meatballs. Actually, they are pretty dang good. I mixed a half pound of ground light meat with a half a pound of ground dark meat; To that I added salt and pepper, a dash or three of cayenne, and some pepper flakes for added kick. I poached the meatballs until just cooked through so that when the time comes (because they store frozen really well) I'll thaw them and saute them to golden perfection. I poached them so I never have to worry about a raw middle with a waaaaaay to crispy outside.

Okay, so today I was not so much in the mood for spaghetti. I did a sort of turkey parm deconstruction by chopping up the meatballs, putting them on a bun with homemade tomato sauce and topping that with grated parm-reg. Yum! I could have made a healthy side of veggies but I got some new cheese puffs to try at the store (Mike got potato chips). So there you have it, dinner took maybe 20 minutes and I have about a dozen frozen meatballs for future fast meals.
