Healthy, Greek Meatballs
As a family who farms and owns cows, beef is king in our household. So when it comes to meatballs and hamburgers, beef is our go-to.
However, as a dietitian, I try to switch things up with lighter, healthier style meatballs or hamburgers in order to reduce our red meat intake a bit. That is why I created these healthy, Greek meatballs using lean ground turkey and ground chicken.
With only 61 calories, 3g fat, and 7g protein each, they fit perfectly into a healthier lifestyle.
These healthier meatballs were a big hit with my beef loving husband and toddlers!
Adding spinach to the meatballs not only provides extra nutrients, but adds a nice touch of color.
Lean meat such as turkey and chicken can create dry meatballs; therefore, I suggest brushing the meatballs with olive oil to prevent them from drying out.
Placing them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes helps to create a crispy outside.
These meatballs are a perfect addition to any healthy lifestyle.
