Kale and Turkey Meatballs

These turkey meatballs are a healthy and delicious way to get your greens. They're made with ground turkey, kale, onion, bell pepper, and spices, and they're baked in the oven until cooked through. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of rice or quinoa.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to get my kids to eat more vegetables. They love meatballs, so I thought I would try adding some kale to them. The result was a hit! The meatballs are moist and flavorful, and the kale adds a nice pop of color and nutrients. I've been making these meatballs ever since, and they're always a favorite at our dinner table.

Why It Works

• The almond flour and tapioca flour help to bind the meatballs together and give them a slightly crispy exterior.
