Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
1 cup cooked quinoa cooled
1 egg beaten
1/2 cup onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup parsley chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup tomato sauce

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked quinoa, beaten egg, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Form the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil, then bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden on the outside.
While the meatballs are baking, warm the tomato sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Serve the meatballs hot with the tomato sauce spooned over the top.

Tip:

These meatballs are versatile and can be served not only with tomato sauce but also in a sandwich, on top of a salad, or as part of a pasta dish with gluten-free pasta.
