Recipe of the Week: No Breadcrumb Turkey Meatballs
Being Italian, I love everything Italian including meatballs. Though they are incredibly delicious they don’t have the best macronutritent profile. This recipe however lowers the carbohydrates and fat without losing much or any of the flavor of traditional meatballs.
I know you are skeptical because I was too. I honestly did not think this would turnout too well but I was completely wrong. These turkey meatballs have great flavor and the ricotta adds a different dimension that is very enjoyable. Make sure to comment below with your pictures and what you think of this recipe!
