How to Make the BEST Gluten Free Turkey Meatballs
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. With your hands, mix just until the ingredients are incorporated.
Roll each meatball using about 2 tablespoons of the meatball mixture. Place them on the baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping them at the halfway mark. Before serving be sure the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees.
Allow the turkey meatballs to cool slightly so they don’t fall apart when you serve them.
How to Store
Keep the leftover cooked meatballs in an airtight container or bag for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
To freeze: Place the cooked meatballs in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or reheat in the oven until warm.
You can also freeze gluten-free meatballs before they are cooked. Once you roll them out, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes. Then transfer them to a freezer bag. Freezing them beforehand on the baking sheet makes sure that they don’t get squished before they completely freeze.
