Turkey Blue Cheese Meatballs/Loaves

Here’s a recipe Dawna sent me.  She is taking the Paleo thing seriously, so keep an eye on her to make some great gains!
Ingredients:
4 cloves garlic

1/2 onion, cut into chunks

2 jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded

1 pound ground turkey

4 oz bleu cheese

2 whole eggs

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons wheat free Tamari (or wheat free soy sauce)

1 tablespoon dried parsley

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
  2. Pulse garlic cloves in a food processor until minced. Add onion and jalapeno, and pulse until minced again. Scrape the onion mixture into a large bowl along with the turkey, blue cheese, eggs, and olive oil. Season with tamari, dried parsley, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Roll the mixture into 2 inch balls, and place onto prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25 minutes.  These can also be prepared in a muffin pan for mini meatloaves or in a loaf pan for a full sized meatloaf.  (Be sure to place on a baking sheet or tin foil to avoid a mess)
