Using ground turkey to make meatballs is a great alternative to ground beef. There is no frying in the pan required for this recipe; the meatballs are fully cooked in the oven. This recipe is very easy to prepare—the ground turkey is mixed with various ingredients, rolled into balls, and then baked in the oven for about 30 minutes. These meatballs get most of their flavor from ingredients such as garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. When the meatballs were finished cooking, they were extremely moist and tender. You can serve these turkey meatballs with a spaghetti sauce or if you would prefer a sauce is not required; you could serve them with a salad. Enjoy.
