I created this recipe to cut back on the bread! I use Trader Joe’s gluten free oats in place of the traditional breadcrumbs used in meatball recipes. I am also making them healthier by using ground turkey instead of ground beef.
Super Grain Gluten Free Meatballs Recipe
1 pound ground turkey meat
4 ounces fresh cooked baby spinach (drain well after sautéing until wilted in olive oil with s & p and 1 clove minced garlic)
3 cloves of cloves garlic, minced (not including one for cooking spinach)
1 egg
1/3 cup gluten free rolled oats (I like Trader Joe’s brand)
1/3 cup parmesan cheese (Also like Trader Joe’s brand)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
salt and pepper
If the mixture seems sticky add more oats…too dry add a bit of milk.
Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a small mixing bowl combine wet ingredients. In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Use your hands for best results!
Roll your meatballs and place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes maybe less. Keep an eye on them!
Serve: I like to fake myself out and use zucchini noodles instead of pasta! Sometimes…I need the pasta!
