Turkey Meatballs - Super Moist!

[ShannonK 266]

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.
