Mizzy's Meatballs: Healthy Turkey Meatballs: Deliciously & Easy
Hey sexy humans! Today, I'm diving fork-first into the yummy world of healthy turkey meatballs—one of
my absolute favorite go-to recipes, especially when I'm following the 75 Day Challenge. These tasty balls are packed with flavor, low in calories, and fit perfectly into my clean-eating routine.
Why Turkey Meatballs?
When it comes to cooking healthy meals, turkey meatballs are a total game-changer for me. They're leaner than traditional beef meatballs, lower in calories, and can be used in so many meals. Turkey is rich in protein, essential vitamins, and minerals, making it perfect for a guilt-free indulgence. And trust me—when you're on the 75 Day Challenge and juggling workouts, clean eating, and staying on track, these little gems are a lifesaver. They are easy to make ahead to keep in the fridge for when you need a pick me up.
This few ingredient meatballs recipe checks all the boxes: simple and healthy. Depending on what ingredients I have on hand, I may switch to fresh ingredients. Go with your heart.
How to Make Mizzy's Turkey Meatballs – Easy & Delicious!
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
½ cup panko bread crumbs
1 egg
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
2 TBSP grated parmesan cheese
¼ tsp black pepper
2 TBSP Italian seasoning
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, mix panko, garlic powder, onion powder, parmesan, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Set aside
In a large bowl, lightly mix ground turkey and egg. When combined, gradually add panko mixture.
Avoid overmixing; it'll keep your meatballs tender.
Using your hands, roll the mixture into evenly sized meatballs—about 2 TBSP per meatball. (I oil my hands to make things less messy)
Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Voilà—your delicious baked turkey meatballs are ready!
Elevate Your Turkey Meatball Recipes
While these healthy turkey meatballs taste amazing on their own, I love getting creative in the kitchen! Sometimes I’ll pair them with zoodles for a low-carb meal, tuck them into a warm whole-grain pita with fresh veggies, or drop them into a vibrant tomato sauce to serve over whole wheat pasta. Personally, my most favorite is with chic pea spaghetti.
Need more inspiration? Here are a few tasty twists I’ve experimented with:
Spicy Kick: Add chili flakes or hot sauce to the meatball mixture for a fiery surprise.
Asian Influence: Blend ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil for a delightful Asian-inspired bite.
These combinations pair well with rice as a simple ready to go meal.
The Health Benefits of Choosing Turkey
When I make these healthy meatballs, I know I'm not just satisfying my cravings—I’m fueling my body with goodness. Ground turkey is:
Lower in saturated fat and calories than beef.
High in protein, which helps keep you fuller longer.
Rich in B vitamins, vital for energy production.

Happy eating!

XOXO,
Mizzy
