Notes
- You can massage your kale for a couple of minutes before using so they are more tender.
- Be sure to not include any of the kale stem in the meatballs as they're tough and unpleasant.
- You can use a cookie scoop to get perfectly uniformed meatballs.
- To store: You can store leftover meatballs in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
