gluten-free, egg-free turkey meatballs + mezze platter

Writer: Christine HanwickChristine Hanwick

One recipe I make almost weekly is herby turkey meatballs. They're gluten-free, egg-free, easy-to-make and you'll only need six ingredients.


I usually add the turkey meatballs to zucchini noodles or a kale cesear salad, but I've been trying to change things up with meals and we've been loving nosh platters lately, so I added the turkey meatballs to a mezze platter and really loved it.


Here's how I put the platter together: Pre-make the turkey meatballs then add hummus (store-bought kalamata olive hummus is amazing or you can make your own), tzatziki (recipe below), olives, carrots and cucumbers. It would also be pretty tasty with a little pita bread, which could also make some dang good little leftover sammies the next day.

TURKEY MEATBALLS


Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh herbs (basil and dill) and green onion finely chopped in food processor. (Tip: Sub in spinach if you want to add more veggies to meals.)

  • 4 oz. goat cheese (I've also used Miyokos Mozz for a dairy-free option)

  • 10-oz. ground white turkey (it's in my opinion really important to use white turkey for this recipe, I use Larry Schultz Farm)

  • Pink himalayan sea salt to taste


Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees

  2. Line a baking pan with foil

  3. Add fresh herbs and green onion to food processor with s-blade and chop until fine

  4. Place turkey in medium-sized stainless steel bowl and add a pinch or two of sea salt and goat cheese until well-combined, you may need to use your hands

  5. Mix in fresh herbs to turkey mixture

  7. Bake meatballs in oven for 20–25 minutes, but start watching at 15 minutes
