I like these “un-meatballs” because I don’t like getting my hands all dirty forming meatballs and it’s also very time-consuming. And, I usually end up breaking my meatballs apart anyway when I eat them, so I thought I’d just skip a couple steps!
In addition, these are a quick and easy meal that you can keep in the freezer and microwave in minutes!

LOL! I avoid meatballs for the same reason (ie yucky hands). I will have to try this out. I need to shake up my proteins. I do eggs and cottage cheese or yogurt, but most of my meat meals are chicken. Kinda boring after awhile.
Yes! The day I discovered ground turkey was a wonderful day! I use it so much it’s not even funny. Today I’m eating chili, last week it was tacos, taco salad, and taco/scrambled egg burritos. It’s super versatile.
