Turkey meatballs are a flavorful, protein-packed dish commonly enjoyed across various cuisines, often paired with pasta, salads, or rice. Typically made from lean ground turkey, they may include breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, garlic, herbs like parsley or basil, and seasoning for added taste. As a lighter alternative to traditional beef or pork meatballs, turkey meatballs originated from innovations in Western and Mediterranean cooking, offering a lower-fat, heart-healthier option. They are rich in high-quality protein, aiding muscle repair and energy, and contain essential nutrients like selenium and phosphorus. However, depending on preparation methods, such as frying or heavy sauces, their calorie count or sodium levels can increase. Baking or steaming turkey meatballs, along with using whole-grain breadcrumbs and minimal salt, enhances their nutritional benefits. Versatile and satisfying, they’re a great choice for those seeking a healthier spin on classic comfort food.
