Giant Turkey Meatballs
Meatballs make a great snack food. You can throw together a HUGE batch and eat them for the week. They are easily portable and go well with fresh veggie sticks. If made with the right ingredients…they are
little bundles of amazing flavor that will get you lean fast. I recommend ultra lean ground turkey, beef or bison for meatballs. Any thing goes and you can spice these
babies up any way you like! I switch up this recipe so many different ways with different herbs, spices and vegetables. I usually throw mine into a plastic Ziploc bag with a small yam and some sliced veggies (of course once the meatballs have chilled off a bit).
