These meat balls go well with the Easy Low-Fat Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce. I cook these in the microwave in a steamer. This way the fat drains off. I usually rinse these a little also. This recipe came out of a want to have spaghetti and meatballs without all of the fat. These balls freeze great.

HOMEMADE MEATBALLS



Homemade Meatballs image

What comes to mind when you think of meatballs? Some might remember as far back as Lady and the Tramp and the romantic scene shared over a plate of meatballs. Or you might think of Subway's pretty decent meatball sub with marinara sauce. Some might even think of trips to Ikea and the inevitable plate of Swedish Meatballs that somehow go hand in hand with buying furniture.

  • Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs. Traditional meatballs are made with a mixture of beef, pork, and veal. Turkey, lean and tender, replaces the latter two in these meatballs, saving you major calories while simultaneously providing your taste buds with major yum.
  • Asian Chicken Meatballs. These chicken meatballs are inspired by street-corner grills in Vietnam and Thailand, where ginger, garlic, and chiles reign supreme.
  • Spicy Turkey Meatballs with Sweet Potato Fries. These lean turkey baked meatballs pack a punch of spice and are the perfect comfort food for a Whole30 diet.
  • Meatballs With Polenta. This recipe lightens up the meatball (using sirloin and turkey instead of veal and pork), but, more importantly, it ditches the spaghetti in favor of polenta, an Italian staple of stone-ground corn with a fraction of the calories, but just as hearty, creamy, and completely delicious.
  • Italian Meatball Soup. Though it's light in calories, this is still a potent bowl of goodness—served with a lightly dressed salad, it makes for an incredible weekday dinner.
  • Crock-Pot Italian Meatballs. This slow cooker recipe will create a delectable homemade sauce as the Italian meatballs start to cook, and it will only take you 2 to 4 hours to do so.
  • Turkey Swedish Meatballs. This version of the Swedish meatball cuts the beef with turkey, which is tender and light like veal, but considerably leaner. You'll save on calories, but you'll gain considerably on taste!
  • Classic Italian Meatballs. Ever want to learn how to make authentic Italian meatballs? This recipe is a classic straight from one editor's Italian grandmother who shared all her secrets for the best tasting Italian meatballs around.
