Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
- ¼ cup carrot finely chopped
- 3 ounces (about 3 loosely packed cups) baby spinach finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil, fresh
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil or avocado oil, cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Make sure your onion, carrot and spinach are finely chopped as you don’t want huge chunks of veggies in the meatballs. I like chopping all the veggies in my food processor to save time.
- In a large mixing bowl add ground turkey, chopped veggies and spices. Gently combine with a wooden spoon or hands.
- Roll meat mixture into 1-2 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet about 1-inch apart.
- Bake until outsides are lightly browned and centers are no longer pink, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.
- Let cool before placing in an air-tight container if you’re making these as part of your meal prep.
