Tangy Turkey Meatballs are the perfect way to please the family for dinner and the calorie bank too.
One of my most loved recipes on this blog is for Toni’s Tangy Meatballs, so it was only natural that I adapt these using ground turkey to fit my diet a bit better.
I had to share these again with ground turkey because they are SO good! I always know that if I serve meatballs or meatloaf, my kids will eat every last drop without a fight. That is a WIN at dinner time around here. I’m not sure what I did but I hit the picky eater lottery with my children.
I tell my friends all the time I’m jealous that their kids eat without a fight…my kids not so much but with meatballs, I win! YAY!
So that means that you must make these meatballs. I opted for turkey this time as it was a bit more lean than using ground beef. The best part is these meatballs make A LOT! So, if you have a larger family they will easily feed everyone or if you do not need that many, simply freeze them.
Are you ready for dinner? Time to eat!
Happy Friday!
