Cook: 90 Delicious, savory, and perfect for lunch or dinner on-the-go. Today’s Paleo Turkey Meatballs Meal Prep Bowls recipe is sponsored by Frontier Co-op, (opens in a new tab) but my love for their delicious spices and seasonings is completely my own!
Happy Monday, friends! This weekend/week/MONTH has been pretty hectic and crazy for us. We have finally moved into our new house! (opens in a new tab) We moved a week ago today (YAY!!!) and have spent the week trying to get settled. It also took us what seemed like forever to get our internet up and running, so recipes on Jar Of Lemons have been pretty limited these past few weeks. Sorry, friend! Don’t worry, I’m 100% ready to get back into things and to be able to test out my new kitchen with JOL recipes! (P.S: Let me know what recipes you want me to create in the comments below!)
And to kick off our new season in our new little home, these delicious Paleo Turkey Meatballs Meal Prep Bowls!
This recipe seemed appropriate because:
1.) It’s Monday, which means ALL the meal prep vibes.
2.) Cody and I have been living on tacos, burgers, and pizza in fast food form (due to moving and all that), which means OMG I NEED MEAL PREP IN MY LIFE NOW. It’s been glorious and miserable at the same time.
3.) I recently got Frontier Co-op (opens in a new tab) spices and they’re AMAZE, y’all!
4.) Specifically, the Organic Red Pepper Flakes (opens in a new tab) combined with spaghetti squash and these turkey meatballs takes things to another level! Necessary, by all means.
These Paleo Turkey Meatballs Meal Prep Bowls are so easy to make!
Just add delicious Frontier Co-op (opens in a new tab) spices, egg, and almond flour to the ground turkey, roll it into meatballs, bake, then add to cooked spaghetti squash and top with tomato sauce! Basically delicious comfort food goodness in no time at all!

What are the macros for this recipe?
How many meatballs does this recipe yield? Would you say this is enough for 2 adult meals or 4 or more?
I would say around 16. That should be around 4 meals, maybe 3 if one person prefers a little more!
Yummy, this looks like the perfect Sunday night dish to eat during the colder months. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Madelyn! Enjoy!
Big congrats on your new home. We just closed on our home (after years of looking & lots of frustration no less!!!!) so those hectic move days are right around the corner.
I’m hoping we don’t have to live off of pizza etc for too long. That said. . .a little meal pre-planning could help alleviate some of that and I am loving these turkey meatballs for that very reason. The hubby and I just had a horrible experience with spaghetti squash (it was so bitter. . .I think it scared us for life) so I think I will be pairing mine with some roasted zucchini. ..which will be equally as delicious.
Thank you so much, Lynn! 🙂 Wow, congrats to you, too! Haha yeah, a little meal prep upfront would have been helpful for us. But it’s never too late! I hope you guys enjoy the recipe!
My family and I love meatballs. Definitely will be trying 🙂
That’s awesome, Dawn! Enjoy! 🙂
