This is the best easy to make gluten-free turkey meatballs recipe. They are kind of fun to make using an ice cream scoop too; you don't have to touch raw meat if you don't want to.

Okay, so I am pretty much determined to make eating healthy as simple as possible! And I realized I have not shared this recipe with you and it is my current favorite for my most simple and most delicious recipe! I love healthy recipes this is a FAVORITE at our house! And at only 113 calories per meatball, these are what I would call "skinny."

They are…..Turkey Balls! They sound weird, I know. But trust me; these tasty little things are gonna rock your world!

And if you wanna be a star in your hubby’s eyes, make him lunch for work every day! (I know, some of you are rolling your eyes…like us busy moms have time to make lunch for our hubby's every single day! Geez!) Well, guess what, these little gems are gonna change all that. You are gonna look like the bomb jiggidy when he tastes how delicious these are and thinks you spent hours and hours prepping these. And guess what, BONUS! Kids LOVE THEM TOO!! I swear these things are gonna never get old! Ready for it?

It’s as simple as:
Dump, Squish, and Roll.

The best part is this recipe has it all! The protein, the veggies, and the energy! Top a salad with it, eat with a side of rice, dip in ketchup or BBQ sauce, or eat alone! There’s a world of options for ya!! Make them a little different every single time! Freeze them for next week or eat them fresh!

Can you freeze these gluten-free turkey meatballs?

These are a good example of a simple meal prep freezer food that's healthy, easy and delicious. I bake a big batch one time a week and store them in 2’s in baggies in the fridge or freezer! And in fact, if my hubby goes for them for dinner or a snack and they aren’t there, he grumbles out of disappointment!

To serve them in my hubby's lunch I take the frozen meatballs and add them to one of my bento box lunch containers * along with some healthy sides like spaghetti sauce, a salad, veggies or fruit. So easy and it saves us so much time, money and the stress of figuring out what to eat for lunch.
