Turkey meatballs are a nutritious and flavorful alternative to traditional beef or pork meatballs, often enjoyed in Italian-American cuisine or as part of healthier meal options. Made primarily from lean ground turkey, these meatballs typically include ingredients such as breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, onion, parsley, and a blend of seasonings. Turkey is a low-fat, high-protein meat that provides essential nutrients like B vitamins and selenium, which support energy production and immune health. Compared to red meat options, turkey meatballs contain less saturated fat, making them heart-healthier. They can be baked, boiled, or pan-fried, and are often served with marinara sauce, pasta, or vegetable sides for a balanced meal. However, variations in preparation, such as frying or adding excess salt, can increase calorie and sodium content. When made with wholesome ingredients and mindful methods, turkey meatballs are a delicious way to enjoy a hearty yet health-conscious dish.
