These homemade Ground Turkey Meatballs are delicious meatballs. You can choose to eat these meatballs on their own or with my simple tomato sauce, pasta, mashed potato and zucchini noodles.
I always use breadcrumbs because they’re healthier and lighter than the traditional ones. But if you don’t have whole wheat or gluten-free breadcrumbs, go ahead and use the ones you have on hand since your meatballs will be delicious anyway. I put just enough breadcrumbs to soak up the liquid from the veggies and to make the mixture adhere better.
As some of you know, we love spices of any kind. I just think they bring the dish to another level. So, I added a little bit of cumin, coriander, and chili powder to my mixture. You won’t be disappointed. In fact, you will really love it. However, you don’t have to add them if you are not a big fan of cumin and so on.
Don’t these meatballs look mouthwatering?! Are you on a low-carb diet and still want to enjoy meatballs? Try my Low-Carb Turkey Meatballs with Mashed Cauliflower or my Whole30 Low-Carb Spaghetti Squash With Meatballs.
