This is a recipe makes such a large batch feel free to freeze some meatballs to enjoy at another time. You can portion them out and freeze 5 meatballs together so you can just grab the correct portion size and thaw as needed.

Bring to a boil and then reduce to a low simmer. Continue to simmer while you cook the meatballs.

In a large bowl combine 1.5 lbs of ground turkey, 1 teaspoon of Himalayan salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground mustard, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 large egg (lightly beaten), 1/2 cup of whole grain quick cooking oats, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of dried parsley and 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce.

Try them diva!! Let us know how you like them!
I made these with turkey meat and they were delicious. I’m looking forward to making more.
These turkey meatballs are tasty. They are quick to make. I put them on the baking sheet using a cookie scoop which helps speed up the prepping process. I always have leftovers to freeze and eat at another time. They are still delicious after freezing.
