Are turkey meatballs healthier than beef?
They’re both healthy meats that are packed with protein, healthy fat, and lots of vitamins and minerals.
However, turkey has much less saturated fat, so if you’re focusing on heart health, it can be a better choice than beef. Its fat-free variety also has the lowest calories among most meats, which makes it a good option if you want to lose weight.
How to make homemade turkey meatballs?
- Combine the seasonings. Mix the crumbs, cheese, and onion with herbs and spices.
- Make the meat mixture. To that, blend in the Worcestershire sauce, egg, and ground meat. Chill for at least an hour to make them easier to handle.
- Shape. Form the meat into balls with a diameter of around 1 ¼ inch.
- Sear. Brown the meatballs on all sides in a pan with hot oil.
- Cook in the marinara. In the same pan, simmer the marinara then arrange the meatballs until they’re covered in sauce. Cook for up to 20 minutes until fully done.
- Serve. Enjoy hot with more parmesan, chopped parsley, and a splash of olive oil on top.
