Turkey Meatballs - Super Moist!



Recommended Posts

Just made a concoction I LOVE! For those of you that plug in all the ingredients to get calories, Protein, etc...Please do and let me know! :)

I had some ingredients in the fridge to use, threw it together, and yummo! I hope y'all try it, I really liked it!

I know it makes quite a bit, but you can make smaller batches...I am bad at following exact recipes anyway, so here is what I had and did :)

2 pounds 99% lean white ground turkey (Jenny-o)

1 package frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained, squeezed out.

1 can artichoke hearts quartered

2 eggs

1 cup fresh sliced parmesan - crumbled in

8 spicy crackers

Seasoned to taste (I like a little garlic and cayenne)

Mixed, formed 3 oz balls, baked on foil at 350' for 35 minutes (could be less if smaller meatballs)

Delicious!!! :)

This recipe yields 20, 3 ounce meatballs. 11 grams of Protein, 6 grams of fat , 3 grams of carb and 108 calories per 3 ounce meatball.

I didn't know what Spicy crackers were, so I just used the nutritional value of 8 Ritz crackers.

Thanks for the breakdown! I am surprised at the amount of carbs.....10 ritz crackers is 20g of carbs....for the whole batch! At 20 meatballs, that's 60g of carbs?! Maybe the spinach and artichoke hearts have some.....I should check :) Sure are yummy.

The whole recipe has 53 grams of carbs- less than 60 due to actual carb being rounded up in the individual meatball....25 carbs in the package from spinach 10 from the artichokes... 25 of the grams are from Fiber.< /p>

Instead of using crackers, you can use mushrooms and other veggies. I just posted a recipe for Asian Inspired Turkey Meatballs on my food blog---the sauce is not VSG friendly, that was for hubby.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
