Baked Raisin and Oregano Turkey Meatballs

   Turkey meatballs are so delicious! It tastes great with raisins inside the meatballs, I know it sounds a little odd, but it totally works great. Feel free to experiment with ground meat, or pre-seasoned turkey sausages (take out the filling from the casing). This is super easy to do, I added almond flour to make them gluten free, and you can also use quinoa or baking powder as well. (any other gluten free flour would work as well). I topped it with tomato sauce, and you can also just serve plain with veggies or over pasta! Try it out :)

Tip: Keep an eye on the meatballs so the raisins don't burn, you may have to adjust the heat.

Healthy tip: Using ground turkey is a leaner option than using beef. It tastes great.

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb of ground turkey meat
  • 1/2 cup of raisins
  • 1/2 cup of almond flour (any other gluten free flour works)
  • 2 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsp of olive oil
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tbsp of fresh oregano herbs (dried works too)
  • Pasta sauce of your choice (I used organic marinara)
  • A few slices of aged parmesean or freshly grated

Recipe:
  1. Put all ingredients except for the sauce and cheese into a large bowl.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 F
  3. Mix with your hands, until ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Make 2 inch round balls with your hands.  Add to a large baking pan (grease with a little olive oil first).  Keep meatballs about 1-2 inches apart from eachother.  You should have about 15-16 balls.
  5. Heat on 375 for 35-40 minutes. The meatballs should be golden brown, turn the heat down if you see the raisins start to burn.
  6. Take out, and add the pasta sauce and sprinkle of cheese on top.  Put back in oven for about 5 more minutes until sauce is warm and cheese is melted.
  7. Serve with sauteed garlic spinach and lentil bean pasta (or any pasta of your choice)!
Delicious!
