Substitutions

If you want to make lean turkey meatballs, use 97/3 ground turkey breast instead of ground turkey which has both dark meat and the skin typically.

If you don't have ground turkey, you may also use ground beef, ground chicken or Italian sausage.

What to serve with Oven Frozen Ground Turkey Meatballs

Serve the turkey meatballs with a homemade keto spaghetti sauce or a store bought one like Rao’s Marinara.

Serve on top of spaghetti squash, zoodles, or palmini noodles for an easy meal!
