Cook the quinoa

- In a large bowl, combine the turkey, garlic, panko, 1 egg (double for 4 portions), ⅔ of the spices and S&P.
- Form into 8 meatballs.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.

- Add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well.
- Off the heat, add the Buffalo sauce; toss well.
Roast the green beans
- Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise on an angle.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P.
- Roast, 5 to 8 min., until crisp-tender.
Plate your dish
