    I often serve Turkey Meatballs with my homemade Marinara Sauce. Add a great salad and pasta and you've got a sensational meal.

    In a large bowl, combine the turkey, parsley, breadcrumbs, chili sauce, egg and cooled onion mixture. Mix until just blended, don't overwork or meatballs will be tough when cooked. Form into equal sized meatballs. Place on greased (I used cooking spray)  baking sheet and bake in preheated oven 375 degrees for about 30 mins (internal temperature of 165 degrees)

    This recipe also makes terrific burgers, wrapped in bacon for extra flavour or omit the bacon for low fat version.

        Hi Becca,
        Yes they grill very well, just make sure the grill is well oiled, sear, then continue grilling using alternate heat grilling. (burner burger on off, other burner on high)

      These sound good. What kind of sauce would you serve with the meatballs and pasta?

        I would serve the meatballs with a simple marinara sauce.

      I pureed some spinach in a little water, then mixed the spinach paste in! Super good!

      I am use to dry turkey meatballs but the addition of carrots onions and herbs I think made these things nice and moist. This is my #1 meatball recipe at home. Very happy I found it.

        It is a hit with my family as well. The recipe also makes great burgers, wrapped in bacon.(not as healthy though)
