Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Turkey
- 1 cup Finely Chopped Kale

- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add turkey, the chopped kale, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, oat flour, egg, and your seasonings.
- Mix Gently: Use your hands to mix everything until the ingredients are just combined. Avoid overworking the meat, as this can make the turkey meatballs dense rather than tender.
