Turkey Meatballs Recipe
Turkey Meatballs Recipe
One thing that we have started doing a lot more with our meals is using chicken and turkey instead of red meat. I will tell you that using ground turkey is a little different than using ground beef. It will cook basically the same and you can use it as a substitute for almost any recipe. The only thing we change is that you need to season it more. Other than that, it’s the perfect lean and healthy alternative. One of our favorite recipes is the Herbed Turkey Meatballs Recipe! They are delicious and fairly easy to make too!

I also like to make this Herbed Turkey Meatballs Recipe in large batches and then freeze the meatballs so they are ready for next time. We are always growing our list of healthy recipes on iSaveA2Z, and you can see them all HERE!
Although we do not eat the Paleo way in my house, I love that they only use lean meats. You can find some really amazing Paleo friendly recipes in this Practical Paleo Cookbook. And the best part is, you can get the Kindle version for only $9.99!
