Gluten-free Chicken Meatballs

• servings: SERVES 4 (ish) w 5 meatb
• total time: 16 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground chicken, or turkey

1 large egg

1/3 cup gluten-free quick oats

1/2 cup grated parmesan (if you can grate this fresh it’s SO yummy)

1 Tbsp tomato paste, optional

1 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp dried parsley

freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

2 tsp olive oil

Directions

Position your oven rack to the middle and pre-heat to 400 F.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients for gluten-free meatballs. Mix until combined and smooth, using a gloved hand or wooden spoon.

Use a 2-tbsp cookie scoop to form gluten-free chicken meatballs. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking pan, with at least 2 cm between each meatball. Repeat until all meat has been used. ***If you're using a cookie scoop, you don't need to roll your meatballs! If you don't have a scoop, grab meat with a gloved hand and gently press into shape.

Bake for 14-18 minutes or until the bottom of your meatballs are golden brown. You'll know they're done when a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 F. There should be no pink remaining in the center of your meatballs. ***Be careful not to over-cook!
