I have a busy schedule taxiing my kids to and from therapy two to three days a week. Our therapy times always tend to land around lunch time, and to save money from eating out, I pack non-messy foods that travel easily in the car. Overall, I like to feed my kids healthier meals, and so I came up with this super-good and easy recipe for homemade turkey Italian meatballs. If you use gluten-free turkey, then this is a naturally gluten-free recipe for healthy, delicious meatballs. My kids beg for me to make more of these. I use these meatballs in a number of recipes, some of which are posted in this blog.
Ingredients
3 pounds of gluten-free ground turkey
1 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic
3 tablespoons of ground thyme
3 tablespoons of ground basil
3/4 cup of fresh chopped parsley
1 3/4 cup of crushed Rice Chex® Cereal (you must trust me on this one)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Cover baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Mix ingredients thoroughly together.
4. Roll mixture into balls about the size of a golf ball or whatever size you prefer. They will shrink a little while they cook.
5. Place on baking sheet.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Time will depend on the size of the meatballs. Near the end of the baking time, you can cut one open to check for color. They should not be pink inside.
XOXO,
Amee

I like that your using turkey I just can’t never seem to get it to taste right for me. So, I get my friend to cook it for me. He does a better job. LOL!
Hi yes I try to stay away from red meats and turkey in a lot of my recipes I cook. These are pretty easy, but glad you have a friend who does a bang up job. Thanks for stopping by, come back soon. Amee
