Ingredients You Gonna Need
Before we dive into the cooking process, here’s what you’ll need:

- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (15 oz) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 cup tomato sauce
Instructions
Now that you’ve got all your ingredients lined up, let’s get to the good part—cooking!
- Preheat that oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s nice and hot when the meatballs go in.
- Mix it up: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, quinoa, cilantro, onion, garlic, egg, cumin, smoked paprika, and some salt and pepper. Mix it all together until well combined.
- Roll it up: Using your hands, roll the mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Make that sauce: In a blender, combine the chipotle peppers (with some adobo sauce) and tomato sauce. Blend until smooth.
- Cover ’em good: Pour the chipotle sauce over the meatballs in the baking sheet, making sure they are nicely coated.
- Bake it: Pop the meatballs into the preheated oven and let them bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
And just like that, you’ve created a scrumptious dish that will warm up your soul. Serve these meatballs over rice or with some warm tortillas, and you’ll be living your best life. Enjoy, fam!
