Super Food Meatballs

As we continue our journey of high protein, high fiber meals, we have to be sure to keep the kiddos happy in their meals, too.  One thing they have always loved to eat is meatballs.  Whether on a sandwich, on spaghetti, or just plain, it is an easy go to!

So, in an effort to keep the meatballs healthy, I found a recipe that was easily tweaked to include some of my favorite Tastefully Simple Spices and used one of my favorite super foods, quinoa!

Baked Super Food Meatballs
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1 cup of quinoa (use left overs!)
1 capful Onion Onion
1 capful Garlic Garlic
1/4 cup of chopped spinach leaves
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 Capful Italian Garlic Bread Seasoning
1 Tablespoon Flaxseed

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 and spray a cookie sheet.  In a medium bowl mix all ingredients until they are well combined.  Form meatball with your hands or cookie baller.  Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.  Rotate halfway through.

The best response was from my pickiest eater, PJ, who exclaimed as soon as he took one bite, "MMMM, these are good!"

Quick tip! 
I made extra and put them in the freezer.  Anytime we need a quick supper or easy meatball sandwich, they are ready to go!!
