Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup quinoa rinsed and drained
2 cups vegetable broth or water
2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, minced garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
Bake the Meatballs: Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.

Cook Quinoa: While the meatballs are baking, bring the quinoa and vegetable broth (or water) to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
Roast the Vegetables: Toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a separate baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Assemble the Bowls: To serve, place a scoop of quinoa in each bowl, top with turkey meatballs, and add a generous portion of roasted vegetables. Serve with lemon wedges for extra flavor.
