Balls: it's what's for dinner

I want something simple and easy last night, especially after Sunday's grand production.
What did I have to work with? The usual suspects: ground turkey, cauliflower, spinach. But I did have something different: Bulgar wheat. So, I attempted and was amazed by my success in making kibbeh. It was SO delicious that I it was a struggle to keep from making more.

Easy Kibbeh:
4oz ground turkey
2 egg white
season to taste(I used salt, pepper, onion powder, chopped peperoncinis and a tasty blend of herbs.)

1/4 cub cracked Bulgar wheat
2tbs wheat gluten
cooking spray


Form the balls like any other meatball and set aside.

Boil water and Bulgar wheat (I used 1 cup water to 1/4 cup wheat) and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain water and let cool (or, if you have a fine enough strainer, rinse under cold water)
Add egg whites and wheat gluten and mix well until you have a fair paste.

Put a dollop of paste on your hand and flatten. Put meatball in the middle and wrap the wheat paste around it, adding more if necessary to get full coverage.

Place balls on oiled baking tray (I used Pam High Heat spray) and give each ball a quick shot of cooking spray.

Bake @450F for 20 minutes then broil on high for 3-4 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Makes 6 balls.

These will have a wonderful crunch on first bite. I may have to make more tonight.
