Turkey-Veggie Meatballs

We thought these were very good. I used a 20 ounce package of ground turkey, and it yielded about 20 meatballs. I didn't find the meatballs to have a tremendous amount of flavor, but they were good, easy, and I'll make them again. We don't eat carbs, so I served it with CL's basic marinara and roasted green beans.

I made these for my 1 year old. I used lean turkey, parmesan cheese straight from Italy (thanks to my in-laws for bringing that home in their carry on!), and omitted the onion (I just didn't have any on hand). I also added 3/4 cup zuchinni and 1/4 cup carrot because I need to hide the green veggies from my daughter because she won't touch them otherwise. Once they came out of the oven, I had to try one and boy am I glad I did! These are GREAT! I am afraid that I will have to make another batch for my daughter because my husband and I might eat them all! :)

I love these meatballs and have been making them for years. I always double the recipe when cooking and that way I can buy the family pak of turkey and only create the mess one time. I divide into 4 packs and freeze. Simply throw into some sauce and heat thru - very easy future meals.

I thought these were extremely bland. You really need a good marinara sauce with a lot of flavor to compensate. I'm not sure what would help these - maybe a different herb than parsley or a different cheese. My toddler ate these and I was happy to sneak some veggies in his dinner.

I had regular onion instead of green and used 1/2 turkey breast, 1/2 regular ground turkey. Otherwise, it was the same recipe. Yum. Cooked them in the morning, added to rhu's marinara to warm in the evening for meatball subs. 30 small meatballs.
