Turkey Meatballs & Roasted Root Vegetables

Oct 19, 2022

Struggling to get some greens into your kiddies diet? This recipe sneakily hides celery and kale inside the moorish meatballs. My kids love gobbling these up. Little do they know what they are actually eating! 😊

  • ¼ cup finely chopped celery
  • ¾ cup finely chopped kale

  • 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
