Like most kids, mine refuse to eat certain veggies. In order to feed them healthy foods, I have to be sneaky sometimes. The veggies give these meatballs a pleasing texture while providing valuable nutrients—and I'm happy to say my kids love 'em. —Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas

Ingredients

1/4 head cauliflower, broken into florets
1/2 cup finely shredded cabbage
1 tablespoon potato starch or cornstarch
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground turkey
Optional: Barbecue sauce and fresh basil leaves

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Place cauliflower in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the cabbage, potato starch, vinegar, salt, basil and pepper.
Add turkey; mix lightly but thoroughly. With an ice cream scoop or with wet hands, shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 20-24 minutes or until cooked through. If desired, toss with barbecue sauce and top with basil.
