These challenges are designed to introduce you to new PWWB recipes, empower you to tackle new skills & techniques in your own kitchen, & to share in the love of flavorful home cooking together. Plus, there’s a chance to win an awesome prize just by joining in on the fun!
Find all of the details for this month’s challenge below. Let’s get cooking! ♡
September 2021 Recipe of the Month:
Soy-Glazed Ginger Turkey Meatballs
This month, we invite you to try our Soy-Glazed Ginger Turkey Meatballs recipe! This recipe is packed with flavor & perfect for weeknight cooking. It’s an easy & healthy dinner that comes together in 35 minutes or less. You’re going to love it!
What makes this Ginger Meatballs recipe so special? It’s…
- CONVENIENT. Everything you need to make these meatballs can be found at ALDI – the ground turkey, fresh ginger, panko breadcrumbs, beautiful cage-free eggs…everything! ALDI is my long time go-to for high-quality protein, fresh produce, & easy weeknight dinner grocery shopping!
- WEEKNIGHT-FRIENDLY. Quick to make & even quicker to clean up! It’s a one-bowl, one-skillet operation that takes less than 35 minutes from start to finish. That’s weeknight dinner magic!
- SERIOUSLY FLAVORFUL. No bland turkey here! These meatballs are packed with flavor thanks to simple aromatics like ginger, garlic, scallions, & the most perfect salty-sweet brown sugar glaze. It’s sure to become a new weeknight staple!
