Meatballs are present at everything from fancy cocktail parties to rowdy football tailgates. Everyone loves a meatball! (Even vegans make “meatballs” out of lentils.) They are always a popular hors d’oeuvre and these Turkey Quinoa Meatballs can also be easily made ahead and reheated.

In this Turkey Quinoa Meatball recipe, I sub the superfood whole grain quinoa in place of the typical binder of breadcrumbs, leaner ground turkey for the traditional beef, and they are baked instead of fried. The results are lighter, healthier, and more nutritionally dense than most meatballs — and absolutely delicious.
