Turkey Meatballs
Serves 6 to 8
Time 40 min
Julie requested help with a recipe for her 6-year-old son who has a number of food allergies. He loves spaghetti and meatballs, but the challenge is finding a recipe that doesn't call for eggs or dairy products. Since meatballs without eggs and cheese can be dry and bland, we used pantry staples like dried herbs and seasonings along with ground turkey to make these meatballs tasty and easy to prepare. Serve over your favorite pasta and tomato sauce.
