Munchkin Meatballs: Baked Turkey and Vegetable Meatballs

I am constantly looking for new ways to make my daughters meals even more nutritious. So far her toddler favorites seem to be cheerios, fruit, pastas, ice pops and meatballs. If I would allow it I am sure she would eat fruit, pasta and Cheerios all day.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces lean ground turkey
  • 1 carrot peeled and grated
  • 1 zucchini peeled and grated

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
