Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground turkey
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 small onion, grated
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice per serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, parsley, grated onion, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
While meatballs are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Divide cooked quinoa or brown rice among meal prep containers.
Add cooked meatballs and sautéed vegetables to each container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
You can substitute other vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or spinach.
For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.
These bowls can be reheated in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
