turkey meatballs

Lean ground orbs

Turkey meatballs are meatballs made with ground turkey instead of the traditional beef or pork.

They became popular as a leaner alternative, common in Italian-American dishes like subs and pasta: We're having turkey meatballs with spaghetti tonight.

The texture tends to be softer and the flavor milder than beef versions.
