Grain free, Whole30 approved, Paleo Turkey Meatballs that are 100% kid friendly – baked in the oven in a cast iron pan for an easy healthy weeknight recipe that won’t leave anyone in tears!
I think you get the idea. in my family of dramatically picky eaters, we get a lot of crying at the dinner table. These turkey meatballs are paleo and Whole30 friendly and, nope, nobody cries when I make them. SUCCESS! I also pair these with sweet potato noodles, baked sweet potato fries, or roasted/baked sweet potatoes before every long run and swear by the meal now! You’ll notice this recipe is so basic, it’s barely a recipe, but that’s sort of the point with the “no one cries”. My kids cry when they see green “stuff” or onions or G-d forbid a chunk of garlic. Garlic=Evil Mom.
So here we go with 100% kid friendly paleo turkey meatballs!
Ingredients:
1-1.5 lbs 93% lean ground turkey (not too lean!)
1 large egg (or 2 if you are using more than 1.5lbs turkey)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried basil
your favorite sauce (we love Rao’s Marinara)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients (except sauce)
Form mixture into 1.5 inch balls and place in a large greased baking dish or cast iron pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, turn, then bake another 5-10 minutes until cooked through.
Removed from oven, and if you used a cast iron pan, cover the meatballs with sauce, cover the pan, and heat over low on the stovetop until heated through. *If you used a baking dish, you will need to transfer the meatballs to a large saucepan for this step
Remove from heat and serve up with your favorite paleo noodles or other veggie (I love sweet potatoes with these!)
Enjoy!
Sometimes you need to allow yourself to take breaks from work and relax a little. At least through games. Because games are probably one of the most accessible ways to relax.
I myself sometimes either at work or in the evening at home play games like chicken road game https://london-post.co.uk/chicken-road-slot-universal-appeal-guide/ and some others. And I can say that it works and helps to relax.
