Italian Turkey Meatball Wraps with Pesto Hummus and Marinara

My last Turkey Hummus Wrap was a serious success in our house and because I can't leave well enough alone, I wanted to experiment with the same concept, but new flavors :)

Previous Hummus Recipe HERE

For today's Hummus we used the electric food processor and combine the following:
1 can drained garbonzo beans
1/2 jar of Pesto
3 garlic cloves

Blend all together, if it is a little thick add just a touch of olive oil and blend a little more.



Then I set this aside to work on the next portions of the meal.


For my meatballs I combined 1 lb. of ground turkey and 1/2 of a diced onion.  I shaped into small balls and placed in my Mini Muffin Tin.   These are baked at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes.


As the meatballs baked, I sauteed the rest of my onion in a little olive oil.  I then combined a can of tomato sauce (as I didn't have fresh tomatoes on hand), as well as oregano and Italian seasoning.  If I had red wine on hand I would have added 1/4 cup to the sauce, I love the way it brings out flavor!



Once you meatballs on fully cooked you can then assemble your wraps.  We used whole wheat wraps that were low in carbs and calories.

Spread some hummus on your wrap, add a few meatballs, cover in sauce and PERFECTO!  Italian Turkey Meatball wrap with pesto hummus and marinara sauce!
