RECIPES

Ground chicken dinner with season veggies

3# chicken necks

1# ground chicken

1 C. seasonal veggies (any combo)

1/4 c. ground fresh dark leafy greens

1 clove fresh garlic

1/2 c. sunflower seeds

2 or 3 eggs

1/4 c. tahini

2 T. honey

2 T. dried parsley

2 T. dried oregano

2 T. turmeric powder

1 T kelp

1 T. dulse

alternate putting the necks and organ meats and veggies, garlic and sunflower seeds through a meat grinder and into a large bowl.  Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.  store in a well sealed container in the refrigerator up to 5 days.  if freezing separate into servings and freeze on a cookie sheet.  then store in a freezer bag.  Defrost number of meatballs needed for 2 to 3 days in refrigerator. meatballs will last up to 3 months in refrigerator.

note: chicken necks can come with or without skin.  the skin adds fat.  it is best to do 1/2 with skin and 1/2 without skin.  if you cannot get them without skin, then leave out the tahini.
