Healthy Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 12 oz ground turkey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 yellow onion, minced
  • 6 tbsp hemp seeds
  • 1/2 bunch of parsley, leaves chopped and stems discarded
  • 1/2 zucchini, grated
  • 3/4 c carrot, grated
  • 1/8 tsp cracked pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp italian seasoning blend (marjoram, savory, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, basil)

Instructions

  • Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Throw all the ingredients into a mixing bowl, and using your hands, mix just until combined.
  • Shape the mixture into 1.5" meatballs and place 1/2" apart on the sheet pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then broil on high for 3 minutes. Keep your eye on the broil segment, so you don't burn them - you just want to lightly brown the tops.
  • Toppings can include: your favorite red sauce, microgreens or other sprouts, grated Parmesan, crumbled goat cheese, crumbled blue cheese... be creative!
