    Ground turkey is a great alternative to ground beef. It is leaner and healthier and tastes great. These Turkey Meatballs are awesome and taste so good. They go great on top of spaghetti, rice or mashed potatoes. You can even eat these as a snack and just pop them in your mouth. 

    How to make Turkey Meatballs:

    Basically, you mix all your ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Form your meatballs into 2-inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Bake and then serve with your meal.

    Ingredients:

    • Ground Turkey
    • Breadcrumbs
    • Italian Seasoning - I buy a premixed Italian seasoning that is made up of dried basil, oregano, rosemary, Majorcan, and thyme.
    • Onion - I used a yellow onion and diced it..
    • Eggs
    • Milk - I used skim milk.
    • Garlic - fresh minced or jarred minced works as well.
    • Salt and Pepper - You can add as much or little as you prefer.

    ingredients for turkey meatballs.

    Directions:

    Step One - Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

    Step Two - Add ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, diced onion, eggs, milk, garlic, and salt and pepper to a mixing bowl. Mix until just combined making sure to not over mix.

    Why Turkey Meatballs are a great choice!

    1. They are a healthier option than regular meatballs. Ground Turkey is leaner and has less fat than ground beef has. Ground Turkey is a great alternative for any ground beef meal you are making.
    2. Hold the flavor really well. Ground turkey really takes to the spices and flavors you add to it. This makes these meatballs very tasty!
    3. They go great with anything! Serve these with spaghetti, rice or mashed potatoes!
