We don’t eat that much turkey in this house, especially not ground turkey, but everyone once in a while it is nice to get away from our staple meats of chicken and beef. So, after a full weekend, I decided to end the weekend with warm turkey meatball subs and a side salad. However, these meatballs would also be great on top of spaghetti noodles or even by themselves.
I got two thumbs up from Bryson and Auggie ate a least a few bites, so I feel like that’s a good enough review to share.You can find the recipe below if you’d like to try them.

NUTRITION
I have absolutely no idea the nutritional value of these meatballs, but I know they’re good, they’re homemade, and ground turkey is better for you than ground beef. Maybe just eat in moderation. 🙂
