Mini Turkey Veggie Meatballs
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- ½ cup carrots grated
- ½ cup yellow squash grated
- 1 small onion diced
- ½ cup quick-cooking oats or bread crumbs or cornmeal
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp broth
- ¾ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix to combine.
- OPTION: If you don’t want to grate your veggies yourself, add roughly chopped carrots, squash, and onion to a food processor. Pulse to small, ground-up pieces. Add oats and pulse to integrate. Then, add meat to a bowl with your veggie mixture, an egg, broth, and salt.
- Roll into balls. (I like to make mini meatballs with a small 2-teaspoon cookie scoop, but you can make these any size you prefer!)
- Place on a baking sheet or in a glass baking dish and bake 18-22 minutes, until cooked through to 165°F (75°C).
- Serve with marinara sauce, ketchup, or any dip that you like!
- Yields ~60 mini turkey veggie meatballs (portioned with a 2-tsp cookie scoop)
- Yields ~30 regular-sized turkey veggie meatballs (portioned with a 4-tsp cookie scoop)
