Kale and Turkey Meatballs

I was in the mood for spaghetti and meatballs and I wanted to ensure my kids ate vegetables with their dinner.  These kale and turkey meatballs were easy to make and tasted great.  I ate my meatballs with air fried zoodles, marinara sauce, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. 

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground turkey

4 cups kale stems removed (or other green such as Brussel Sprouts greens)

½ cup quick cooking oats

2 cloves garlic

½ onion finely diced

1 large egg

½ cup grated Parmesan

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with olive oil spray.
2. Add oats, garlic, and onion to a food processor. Pulse to chop the onion and mix.
3. Add the kale in a few batches pulsing to mix in.
4. Transfer to a large bowl.
5. Add the egg, parmesan, and turkey and mix together. 
6. Use a small cookie scooper to form balls.  Set the balls on the baking sheet.
7. Bake for 20 minutes.  Then flip the meatballs over and cook 15-20 minutes more until meatballs are cooked through.
8. Serve with zoodles, spaghetti, or on meatball subs.
9. Optional: Freeze leftover meatballs.  Then thaw and warm to serve.
