Wheat-free, Low-cholesterol Meatballs &/or Meatloaf

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground chicken (or turkey)
3 eggs
4 green onions diced
2 tablespoons Za’atar or 1 tablespoon thyme + 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon sage
1 tablespoon onion powder
Dash soy sauce
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
2 tablespoons soy flour*
2 tablespoons corn meal or maize flour*

*for soy and/or corn allergies, compensate with soy flour. The baking powder and eggs makes it rise and gives it a spongy texture.

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add more soy flour/maize flour/flax seed for thicker consistency, especially for meatballs.

Grease pan.

Bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes, longer for meatloaf than for meatballs.

Serve with tomato sauce, cheese, butter, gravy or enjoy plain.
