Baked Turkey Meatballs

Baked Turkey Meatballs - If Tom Can Do It, You Can Do It

Growing up in an Italian family household, I have eaten my share of Italian meatballs. When the ingredients of a basic meatball are broken down, there are many options to make them healthier without sacrificing all of the taste. I have been substituting Ezekial bread in place of breadcrumbs in just about everything that I make because it can produce the same texture without all of the sodium and other ingredients in bread that I am trying to avoid. I buy the no sodium version and add my own low-to-no sodium seasonings to create an ingredient that gives Italian breadcrumbs a run for their money! If you don’t have Ezekial bread, you can substitute it with a half cup of Panko. Panko is also a healthy option, and the same seasonings can be added to it for a successful meatball.  The best part of these meatballs is they are a fraction of the calories and fat that a regular meatball packs.
