Directions
1. Grease the inside of a slow cooker crock with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, kale, quinoa, garlic, egg, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix well.
3. Divide and roll turkey mixture into 1 1⁄2-inch meatballs (you’ll get about 24).
