Sneaky Turkey Meatballs image

Like most kids, mine refuse to eat certain veggies. In order to feed them healthy foods, I have to be sneaky sometimes. The veggies give these meatballs a pleasing texture while providing valuable nutrients-and I'm happy to say my kids love 'em. -Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but these meatballs were surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making them again.

I love that these meatballs are made with whole wheat bread crumbs. It makes them a healthier option, and they still taste great.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover turkey. I made them the day after Thanksgiving, and they were a hit with my family.

I had a hard time finding ground turkey at my local grocery store. I ended up using ground chicken instead, and the meatballs turned out great.

The meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

I love the flavor of the meatballs, but I found them to be a little dry. Next time, I'll try adding some more moisture, maybe in the form of extra sauce or cheese.

These meatballs are so versatile. I've served them over spaghetti, with mashed potatoes, and even in a pita pocket. They're always a hit.

I've made these meatballs with ground chicken and ground beef, and they're both delicious. I think the ground turkey is my favorite, though.

These meatballs are perfect for meal prep. I make a big batch on the weekend, and then I have them for lunch or dinner throughout the week.

I love that these meatballs are baked instead of fried. It makes them a healthier option, and they're still just as delicious.

These meatballs are a great way to sneak vegetables into your kids' diet. My kids gobbled them up without even realizing they were eating zucchini and carrots.
