Looking for a recipe for delicious gluten free make ahead turkey meatballs? These turkey meatballs are full of flavor, and super simple to make.

Hello gluten free Turkey Meatballs!
I've been really liking the idea of meal prep lately. I've been dipping my toes by making part of the meals ahead of time, like these meat balls, or my pancakes in the morning. I'm sure I'll get to full blow meal prep and have things in the fridge to grab and go one day, but for now I'm good where I'm at.
These gluten free Turkey Meatballs are making life so much easier. I make up a batch, use a few for dinner, pop a few in the fridge for eating the next day or two and put the rest in the freezer for future use.

What to have with turkey meatballs?
These meatballs have enough flavor to eat on their own but they are neutral enough to add to other meals. I've added them to pasta, salads, and roasted veggies. I've even eaten them cold when in a pinch. It's great to have a protein handy to just toss into a meal.
They are also delicious served with starches like rice or risotto, and make a nice protein option for gluten free Mac and cheese.
They are moist, full of umami, and have a tiny zip from the mustard. Make these as is the first time and if you're not completely in love (but I don't know why you wouldn't be) you can adjust the seasonings to your liking. You can even change out the turkey meat for chicken if you prefer.
Make these and make your life easier... and tastier.

Just a heads up! I'm working on a post for gluten free bread crumbs but until then I have some simple instructions in the notes's section of the recipe it you can't find gluten free croutons/breadcrumbs at your local store.

A Food Processor is a must for making sure the bread crumbs are nice and small. There are other ways to get them small but are labor intensive and can be messy.
Also a must are good baking sheets that cook evenly and clean up beautifully and easy.

Notes
If you're having a hard time finding gluten free croutons or bread crumbs it's super easy to make them. Take your favorite gluten free bread. Cut it into cubes and leave out overnight. The next day toss with a TBS or so of oil and a large pinch of salt and bake at 250F for 40 minutes, until they are crunchy and golden. Let them cool before storing. These make wonderful additions to salads and soups, or crumble up for bread crumbs (recipe coming soon)
