Baked Turkey Meatball

So you have made your own tomato sauce, but you aren't sure of where you can use it. Of course you can use it in pasta dishes, but I like to mix things up. What better way than delicious baked meatballs? Doesn't everyone love meatballs?

Sometimes I just don't want to serve meatballs over pasta. What else is better than pasta? Potatoes!! Add some kale to that and you have a well rounded meal! I am starting to come around to kale. Although, my doctor said eating excess amounts of kale can cause kidney stones!!! So just be cautions of your intake.

I used my homemade red sauce for this recipe. You can find that recipe here!!

Okay, lets make dinner!

Baked Turkey Meatballs over Kale & Potato Hash
GF/DF

Meatball Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 cup GF breadcrumbs
1 egg
1/2 sweet onion
1/4 cup parsley
1 T tomato paste
1 clove garlic
1 t black pepper
1 t salt
tomato sauce (homemade or your favorite GF store bought)

Kale & Potato Hash Ingredients:

3/4 bunch of kale
3 T olive oil
1 shallot
1/2 t fresh ground black pepper
1/4 t salt
2 T dijon mustard (Publix is GF)
2 cups shredded potatoes (I used frozen that I defrosted)

What to do:

Preheat oven to 400°.

Add all of your meatball ingredients except for the tomato sauce into a large bowl.

Mix well.

Using your hands, form even sized meatballs and place 1-2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake until golden brown and no longer pink in the middle, about 20 minutes.

While your meatballs are cooking, lets work on the potato kale mixture. Wash the kale well, and remove the leafy part, discarding the hard stems.

Finely dice your shallot. It appears I forgot to take a picture, SORRY!!

Heat your olive oil over medium heat in a non stick skillet.

Add in your kale and allow to wilt for about 5 minutes.


Add in the shallot, black pepper, salt, dijon mustard, and potatoes.

Stir everything together. Spread evenly into the pan and allow to cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes begin to brown. Be sure to stir the mixture every few minutes to ensure even cooking.


Serve your baked turkey meatballs over the Kale & Potato mixture and top with your tomato sauce.



Thanks Y'all!
