Healthy Meatballs for a Healthy Dinner –

These turkey oatmeal meatballs are gluten-free but check your Dijon mustard and oatmeal when purchasing to make sure they are gluten-free food products.

Oatmeal is used in place of traditional breadcrumbs for this recipe and definitely won’t miss them. We love finding ways to use more heart-healthy oatmeal in our recipes.

These delicious meatballs are lower in fat and calories than traditional beef meatballs.  Turkey is high in protein and also the important B Vitamins.

 

mix egg with the oatmeal

Mix regular oatmeal with 1 egg and a sprinkle of salt & pepper. If you sprinkle salt in layers, you will never be overpowered by salt.

 

mixed ground turkey with oatmeal

Never be afraid to mix the meat using your hands. Just watch out that you do not get the meat too warm. If the meat gets a little warm, just put it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes and then it will be much easier to form into meatballs.

MEATBALL TIPS:

Don’t use 99% lean turkey as it tends to dry out a little bit more. Always use turkey with a little bit of fat. Turkey is a healthy lean meat and that little bit of fat makes recipes that are much tastier.

Use can use an ice cream scoop to measure your meatballs – to make smaller meatballs use a tablespoon.  You can also lightly spray these with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

Use regular oatmeal and not instant.

VARIATIONS:

Simmer the cooked meatballs in your favorite tomato sauce for a few minutes before serving. Serve over hot spaghetti.

What Type of Oatmeal to Use in Healthy Meatballs?

We love to use Bob’s Red Mill Organic Old Fashioned Oats for this ground turkey meatball recipe.

What we Love About these Meatballs:

These meatballs are perfect for when you are looking for something low in fat yet healthy, delicious and filling. Always eat protein with meals to help keep your diet well-balanced.

What to Serve with Turkey Oatmeal Meatballs?

We like to serve our ground turkey meatballs with a healthy tossed salad and a baked potato.
When cooked in tomato sauce, serve over a bed of cooked pasta.

Do Ground Turkey Meatballs Freeze Well?

Yes, cooked meatballs can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Let the meatballs cool completely and then place on a cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 2 hours or until meatballs are frozen. Remove from freezer and place portions of meatballs into a freezer bag. Place back in the freezer for 2-3 months. divider
