Turkey-Herb-Quinoa Meatballs

Ali Segersten (author)

These meatballs freeze amazingly well. I like to freeze them in serving sized containers to have a quick lunch ready to go when needed. Serve meatballs and sauce over baked spaghetti squash with a large green salad.

Ingredients

Meatballs

1 bunches green onions coarsely chopped
¼ cups parsley
¼ cups fresh basil
2 cloves garlic peeled (optional)

1 tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons Herbamare

I'm not sure what went wrong when I prepared this recipe, but the meatballs completely disintegrated when simmered in the broth. I ended up freezing the mixture and serving it over spaghetti squash or noodles.

This is by far one of our family favorites! I have made this so many times and it is always a winner. Some like it with Marinara and others with just chicken broth. There was one time I forgot to use the food processor and they were not as tender. I always double the recipe because it is such a good left over meal, or these freeze very well too.
