How to Make Low Calorie Low Fat Meatballs
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine ground turkey, ground chicken, egg, grated onion, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, pulse whole wheat bread (remove crusts first) in a food processor until you have fine breadcrumbs. You should have approximately 1 cup.
- Gradually add the breadcrumbs to the meat mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet and arrange the meatballs in a single layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned.
- Serve your lean and delicious meatballs on their own or with your favorite pasta sauce, zucchini noodles, or a side salad.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
