Cook rice according to package or rice cooker directions. Set aside for later use.
n a blender or food processor, ground whole wheat bread or crackers until they become crumbs. Place crumbs into a small bowl and set aside for later use.
In a blender or food processor, place the turkey, pepper, salt, cheese and buttermilk. Blend mixture together until it becomes smooth.
Put the blender mixture in a large bowl and mix in the rice. Roll the mixture into one inch balls and set on waxed paper.
Roll each ball in the egg mixture, than roll it in the breadcrumbs until all sides of the ball are covered in crumbs. Set aside until ready to use.
After all balls the balls have been rolled, spray a nonstick cooking pan with cooking spray. Set the temperature to medium high heat and allow pan to warm up.
When pan is warm, place the two teaspoons of oil in the pan and then place the rice balls in the pan. Turn rice balls occasionally, and spray with cooking spray occasionally to give them a more fried taste. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until rice balls become browned on all sides. You may want to reduce heat to medium if rice balls cook or brown too quickly or begin to burn.
Serve with a salad, vegetables, and dipping sauces. Suggestions- honey dijon mustard, honey mustard, ketchup, sweet and sour sauce.
