Turkey meatballs are my favorite and are super easy to make. They are great for a quick snack, healthy, delicious and satisfying.

They are perfect to eat on their own or to add to pasta, sandwiches, or soups. Full of fiber, protein, and vegetables, they will keep you satisfied for hours.

I love adding lots of vegetables as I can to my meat dishes hence the Turkey vegetable meatballs! Adding veggies to the recipe makes them more flavorful and more healthy because of the vitamin and mineral content of veggies.

Enjoy!
