These easy Turkey Meatballs are delicious on their own as an appetizer or along with a big pile of pasta or veggie noodles.

Gluten Free Turkey Meatballs recipe with plenty of Parmesan cheese and herbs to make them moist and flavorful.

Low fat meatballs, especially made from ground turkey, can be drab flavorless rubber balls.

This recipe uses plenty of Parmesan cheese to add flavor and moisture as well as acting as a binder. With no bread crumbs to weigh these down the texture is softer and the flavor of the herbs can shine through.

Planned Leftovers for the Win

Meatballs are perfect for the cook once eat twice concept.

I like to make a big batch of meatballs and slightly undercook half of them. Once they are cool, I slide the baking sheet into the freezer to individually freeze. Once frozen I pop the meatballs into a zip to lock freezer bag for a quick meal another night.
