Healthy Chicken or Turkey Pesto Meatballs

Healthy Chicken or Turkey Pesto Meatballs

I was over at Shauna's house getting ready to babysit and she was making these and said they are yummy, her kids even like them!  so I got the recipe (from the fit housewife and super healthy kids)

Healthy Chicken Pesto Meatballs
5
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 30 meatballs
Serving Size: 5 meatballs
Recipe adapted from Super Healthy Kids
Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground chicken (or turkey)
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 medium zucchini, shredded
  • 2 Tbsp basil pesto
  • dash of sea salt
  • coconut oil spray
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  2. Spray a baking sheet with coconut oil and set aside.
  3. Gently pat the shredded carrot and zucchini with a paper towel to absorb some of the extra moisture. Add to a large bowl. Add the ground chicken, pesto, and sea salt. Using your hands, fold mixture together.
  4. Using a Tablespoon, make small (1-1/2") meatballs and place them on the baking sheet. You can also use your hands to roll them into balls.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. I like to broil the meatballs an extra 1-3 minutes so they get nice a brown.
  6. Remove from oven and serve!
