  • I have never found a turkey meatballs recipe that I really liked that much, until I tried these!  The addition of the spices and my homemade spaghetti sauce recipe, made them delicious!

    I got the Turkey at ALDI using their 93% lean, so they are about as healthy as you can get! Needless to say, I was SHOCKED by how tender and full of flavor this turkey meatballs recipe is.

    First, I recommend that before you start making this turkey meatballs recipe, that you take a look at my homemade spaghetti sauce recipe.

    You can make an entire pot of sauce for under $5.00 and it will make these meatballs absolutely shine!

    Ingredients

    • 1 - 1.5 lbs. of ground turkey the package I use is 1.2 lbs.
    • 3 cloves of garlic pressed or minced
    • 1 egg
    • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs for gluten free, I use Schar breadcrumbs
    • 1/3 cup dried parsley
    • 1 Tbsp dried basil
    • 1 - 1.5 tsp seasoned salt depends on how salty you want them
    • black pepper
    • 3 Tbsp homemade spaghetti sauce or crushed tomatoes

    Instructions

    • In a bowl, combine everything except the turkey and mix well.
    • Add the turkey and blend (works best with your hands)
    • Form small balls of the meat and place on a cookie sheet.
    • Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes (this could be longer or shorter depending on the size of the meatballs).
    • If you have prepared sauce as well, place the meatballs in the sauce and simmer for a half hour (optional) .
