Healthy Lamb Meatballs image

Lamb is usually a pretty fatty meat (with none of the good fats!). So I made up this recipe to satisfy my husband's cravings for lamb. Not only are they fast and easy, they are healthy and freeze well too. I serve this with rice and lentils (in rice cooker) with yogurt.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover lamb. I always have some leftover lamb after Easter and this is a great way to use it up.

I froze some of these meatballs and they turned out great. I just thawed them out in the refrigerator overnight and then reheated them in the oven.

I made these meatballs ahead of time and they reheated really well. They were just as good the next day.

I served these meatballs with a side of tzatziki sauce and they were delicious. The sauce really complemented the flavor of the meatballs.

I didn't have any fresh parsley on hand, so I used dried parsley instead. The meatballs still turned out great.

I used a food processor to grind the lamb and it worked perfectly. The meatballs were nice and smooth.

I made these meatballs with whole wheat breadcrumbs and they turned out great. They were just as delicious as the ones made with white bread.

I love that this recipe uses ground lamb. It's a healthier alternative to beef and it gives the meatballs a delicious flavor.

These lamb meatballs were a hit with my family! The flavor was amazing and they were so moist and tender. I will definitely be making these again.
