Now and then, I crave for a particular food item and cannot get it off my mind. So, for the past week, I’ve been dying for some meatballs! I’ve made a baked ground turkey meatball recipe in the past, so I remembered most of the recipe and, of course, tweaked it to my liking.
You may add these to a tomato-based sauce and olive oil-based pasta (my choice) or let them stand alone. I think these would also make delicious little party appetizers!
