Look no further for the most flavorful turkey meatball recipe
This classic turkey meatball recipe has won over the hearts of many beef meatball lovers. When these meatballs are baking in the oven they get a caramelized delectable bottom. The layer of seasoning balanced with the perfect amount of wet ingredients creates a heavenly bite.
Let me just ask… Are you someone who impulsively reaches for ground beef, and considers ground turkey to be dry? I’m here to set the record straight, this recipe is flavorful, juicy and the beef is not something to be missed. Not that beef meatballs are not flipping delicious, but for myself I have a beef allergy. This allergy is why I was determined to create the best version of a classic turkey meatball.
RAO’S sauce to pour on those mouthwatering turkey meatballs
Recently, I was urged by some foodie friends to taste test this specific jar of sauce. They all raved it was the best premade sauce you can buy. Making fresh sauce is always a delectable option, but I have to say that I simply loved this roasted garlic sauce by RAO’S. My concern was the roasted garlic would be too strong for my kids, but they too gave it a huge thumbs up.
I’m planning on making this meal again next week with a lighter twist. This time I will be placing the turkey meatballs right on top of a beautiful bed of zoodles (zucchini noodles). Most stores now sell prepackaged zoodles, but personally I feel that having a spiralizer to make your own at home is best. There are very inexpensive spiralizers on amazon (click here to check some out). Also, if you already own a kitchen aid there is this attachment which is my personal favorite spiralizer.
