    Low Fat Turkey Meatballs - A quick and easy dinner recipe

     

    I really love homemade meatballs. I love meatballs so much, someday I will be an Italian grandmother, only I'm not Italian! In all seriousness, I love Italian food so much more than the foods of my German ancestry, I know there has to be Italian in me somewhere. A few years ago I posted my recipe for ground beef/veal/pork meatballs and called it Perfect Meatballs ( and if you want to check them out you get to enjoy some really bad, early photography that I could swear I had updated!). I really do love them, but since we are eating low fat these days, and I was making spaghetti, turkey meatballs were called for.

    These are great with low-carb pasta, but would also be great as an appetizer, or as a meatball sub! Serve it with a salad, and you have a complete, balanced meal.

    I hope you are enjoying these healthier recipes! Next week I'll be sharing a not so healthy one, cheating once in awhile isn't all that bad, right?

    If you make these turkey meatballs, please leave me a comment to let me know what you think!

      Hi Bernadette! Thank you for a great recipe I just made them, but just a little bit differently. My ground turkey package was 20 ounces so I added one extra egg white. I added 1/4 cup of water and that’s it. I was a little skeptical about the Worcestershire sauce because I really don’t care for it. But I put it in anyway and it added a little kick to it. I didn’t add the oregano because I don’t put it in beef meatballs either. These things are delicious! They are juicy and have lots of flavor. Thank you very much!

        Hi Ann Marie, I'm glad you liked them! Perfectly okay to leave out the oregano.
