Notes
We love these healthy turkey meatballs served simply with marinara sauce to dip. I usually make them as a snack or to put alongside a salad for a quick lunch.
You can also:
- Top pasta, rice or quinoa with meatballs and a jarred marinara sauce.
- Keep it low carb by topping zoodles or cauliflower rice with meatballs and a low carb sauce of your choice.
- Make these a fun party appetizer by serving them hot with a dipping sauce - marinara or even alfredo sauce would be fun.
