Zubereitung von Baked Turkey Quinoa Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground turkey, 1 cup cooked quinoa, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Roll the mixture into 1-1.5 inch meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each meatball.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and firm to the touch. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- While the meatballs are baking, heat your favorite tomato sauce (about 1.5 cups) in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, gently transfer them to the warm tomato sauce. Stir to coat the meatballs evenly.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve the meatballs immediately over lettuce cups, or with your favorite pasta or side dish.
