When you eat a lot of ground turkey, meatballs are likely going to be something you make with it. This recipe for turkey meatballs features a power punch of veggies. I wanted to include some more veggies, just to see what happened and you can't taste them! These are a healthy and tasty meatball. I served mine with quinoa most days, but tried with spaghetti squash one day. Another tasty treat is to stuff a bell pepper with the quinoa and turkey! Yummy!
Turkey Meatballs
1.5 pounds of ground turkey
3 egg whites
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped fine
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
10 basil leaves, chopped fine
Red Pepper Flakes, Salt and Pepper
Preheat oven to 375F
Put all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine. Portion the meatballs using a cookie dough scoop or make them into a large tablespoon size. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meatballs for about 30 minutes or until they reach 165F. Serve anyway you want with a little cheese!
