Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray a little nonstick spray on it.
2. Stage
Mix water and chia seeds together in a bowl to soak; set aside for 15 minutes. Stir after a few minutes to make sure all of the chia seeds are soaking up the water.
3. Stage
Finely chop onions, carrots, celery, spinach, and garlic in a food processor.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté vegetable mixture over medium heat until softened, about 8 minutes. Set it aside and let it cool a bit before mixing with other ingredients, about 10 minutes.
5. Stage
Mix turkey, quinoa, eggs, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the chia seed and water mixture (it should be sort of firm, almost like gelatin). Mix in the cooled vegetable mixture.

Shape turkey mixture into 48 meatballs and place onto the prepared pan. Brush with ketchup.
