These meatballs are good for you and freeze well, so you can reheat them quickly – and you can decide if you want to add sauce or not!
What are the benefits of eating Turkey Meatballs?
Turkey is a great source of protein, low in fat, and packed with vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, and niacin making it a healthy and powerful food.
How long do you cook Turkey Meatballs?
The cooking time depends on the size of the meatball and how you’re cooking them, but remember turkey is poultry, so make sure it reaches 160 degrees on a thermometer, and the carry-over cooking will bring it up to 165 degrees.
How do you keep the meatballs from falling apart?
Eggs help bind the meatballs together, and for every pound of meat, one egg is all you need.
What’s the best method to get equal portions?
Using a small ice cream scoop is the easiest way to make meatballs because it gives you even portions and creates the perfect round shape.
If you want to be really precise, scoop the meatballs and weigh them on your kitchen scale, aiming for 1 ½ ounces each.
