These turkey balls are very versatile. I have them paired with zucchini noodles “zoodles”, salsa, tomatoes and some carrots for a pop of colour. For a dairy free or vegan option – sprinkle with nutritional food yeast for additional flavour. Alternatively, sprinkle with parmesan, grated cheese, hot sauce or use another family-friendly dipping sauce such as honey mustard.
Turkey balls can easily be integrated as the protein in many different types of meals – everything from soups to salads and anything else that needs a boost of lean protein.
Enjoy!
