How to make it

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients: lean ground turkey, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add optional whole wheat breadcrumbs and mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Shape the mixture into two or three meatballs, depending on your preference and the size you prefer.
  4. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.
  6. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the tomato sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the low-sodium crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer the sauce over low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  8. Serve the healthy turkey meatballs with the tomato sauce on top.
  9. Tip: feel free to remove the breadcrumbs and the parmesan cheese for fewer calories.
