Meatballs for children

Meatballs are round cutlets that little children love. The recipe for baby meatballs is very simple. Turkey is a good choice for this dish - it is light and healthy meat. In addition to rice, you can add greens to the mince. It is better to steam baby meatballs, without using oil, to preserve the maximum benefit of the products.

How to cook Meatballs for children

Meatballs for children

Prepare the meatballs. Put the turkey through a meat grinder or blender. Squeeze the rice from the water and put it in a bowl with the mince. Chop the onion and add to the mince, add salt. Mix the mixture until smooth. Form small balls from the meat, put them in a steamer and set the timer for 20 minutes.

Meatballs for children - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, ground chicken is a great substitute for turkey and will yield similarly tender meatballs. Adjust cooking time if needed to ensure doneness.
Replace the turkey with a plant-based ground meat alternative or mashed beans/lentils, and use cooked quinoa instead of rice for binding.
Cooked meatballs will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Yes, freeze cooked meatballs in a single layer on a tray before transferring to a freezer bag. They'll keep for 2-3 months. Reheat in a steamer or microwave.
Try serving with a mild dipping sauce or incorporating them into pasta dishes. Cutting them in half can make them less intimidating for small children.
Yes, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes on a parchment-lined tray until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
The recipe is naturally gluten-free as written. Just ensure your meat and all other ingredients are certified gluten-free if needed.
Cooked quinoa, oatmeal, or breadcrumbs (regular or gluten-free) all work well as binders in place of rice.
