Whether it’s a weeknight or weekend meal, you can’t go wrong with a big skillet of turkey meatballs in a rich homemade tomato sauce with lots of crispy, warm, buttery, garlic bread to soak up the sauce. Use homemade sauce or bottled sauce, either way, my secret sauce ingredient is fennel seed. It adds a great flavour punch. Turkey meatballs are so healthy and this dish will be a hearty addition to your meal roster. I highly recommend baking the meatballs instead of searing them in your skillet so that they are not fried in oil thereby reducing the fat content of the dish.

    What can you use, instead of cheese, that's non dairy?

      Hi Shira,


      The Parmesan cheese isn’t an integral part of the recipe. You can leave it out. If you want that bit of cheese flavour, I would recommend using 1 TBSP of nutritional yeast. It’s non-dairy. I hope this helps.
