Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and add olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped kale to the pan, stirring continuously until it wilts (about 5-7 minutes).
Transfer the wilted kale to a food processor with garlic and pulse until finely chopped.
In a large bowl, combine the kale mixture, ground turkey, eggs, oregano, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper, mixing thoroughly.
Form the mixture into 2-inch diameter meatballs.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and place the meatballs with some space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until their internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Once baked, remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite tomato sauce.
