Turkey Meatballs w/Veggies (Gluten Free)

Try sneaking some finely chopped veggies into your favorite meatball recipe! It is a good way to use up extra veggies as well as get your family to eat more veggies.

This is my recipe for gluten free oven baked turkey meatballs. To make them gluten free, I use crushed almond flour crackers. The veggies I added are spinach, carrots, and onion.

I used 2 lbs of ground turkey so that I would have leftovers to freeze. I love to always have frozen meatballs on hand as they are so easy to thaw in the microwave - thaw, add your favorite sauce and serve!
