A Healthier Alternative
Everyone is trying to eat healthier nowadays. Try substituting ground beef or pork with ground turkey! Turkey is typically drier than other meats out there, so this recipe adds some diced up zucchini to moisten it up.
Of course, having the turkey meatballs on their own might seem boring. So, here are some ideas for you:
Make it a slider with a mini dinner roll
Add a side of vegetables – spinach or broccoli
Top it with a marinara sauce and serve with pasta
