Italian Meatballs and Sausage Patties

ALL the flavor and half the fatduring Soy Foods Month
You can use a 25-50% replacement of meat with hydrated texture soy protein (TSP) or frozen soy crumbles. It is great for recipes like tacos, casseroles, chili, spaghetti sauce, meatloaf, meatballs, and sausage patties. This month's recipes include a handy table with nutrition facts about extending meats with soy, and great Beef/Soy blend Italian Meatballs and Pork/Soy blend Sausage Patties.

Our Research Dietitian Stacey Krawczyk is on local TV in April demonstrating how easy it is to extend meat with TSP. In addition to the Sausage Patties, she showed how to make Sloppy Joes, so of course here is that recipe.
