Ingredients for servings

    Meatballs

  • 2 pounds 100% ground turkey breast

  • 0.5 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs

  • 0.5 cup carrot

  • 0.25 cup onion

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 dash red pepper flakes optional

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Finely mince carrot and onion by hand or in a food processor and then combine all ingredients. Use your hands to gently mix.

  • Shape meatballs into 2-tablespoon-sized-balls and place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper.

  • Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, checking at 30 minutes to ensure there is no pink in the middle of the meatballs. Cook for 5 more minutes if needed.

  • Serve with pasta or spaghetti squash, and your favorite tomato sauce. You can veg it up by adding sautéed onion, zucchini, red pepper, and grape tomatoes.

  • You can freeze the meatballs in a plastic bag in the freezer for up to 3 months, letting them defrost in the fridge or microwave before eating.
