meatballs for kids

These oven baked kid-friendly turkey and rice meatballs are the perfect iron-rich finger food for your baby, children of all ages, and adults!

Asian Turkey Rice Meatballs

turkey

rice,

vegetables

sesame oil

garlic powder

cheese,

Heat oven to 350F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

Add the veggies to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. You can also do this by hand. I like to use my mini manual food chopper for simple, small tasks like this.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. 

Add the rice, sesame oil, garlic powder, and cheese. Combine until well-incorporated. If the rice (or whatever grain you&#x27;re using) is too hard then microwave briefly to soften.

Add the turkey and mix gently using hands (don’t overwork the meat!) . Working with wet hands, shape into small-sized balls. I highly recommend using an ice cream scooper.

Place on baking sheet. In a small oven-safe dish(es), add some water and place in the pan alongside the meatballs.

Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Serve with Marinara sauce, Pesto, Cheese Sauce, or with a side of ketchup or any other favorite dip. We like to have these on hand to use an easy lunch component or have them with pasta.

4-Ingredient Baked Chicken Meatballs

breadcrumbs

carrots ((optional))

Parmesan

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Coat with nonstick spray.

In a medium bowl, mix the ingredients together with clean hands. Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to measure out 2-tablespoon-size meatballs. Roll into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 24-26 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

(You can also make them smaller as 1 tablespoon balls and bake for 20-22 minutes.)

Serve warm or set aside to cool and freeze.
