Sesame Turkey Meatballs
Looking for a lean protein recipe? Well you’ve found it. My sesame meatballs are quick, simple, full of flavor and you can just pop them in your mouth whenever!
It’s a perfect addition to add on top of your zucchini noodles for a low-carb, gluten-free option over over spaghetti noodles.
Feeling crazy? You can turn these meatballs into a meatball sub!
Not only do I like the simplicity of this recipe but I love how transportable it is. It’s great for a beach trip, school lunch, or picnic!
Pro Tip: Freeze your sesame meatballs for an easy to make dinner later (or better yet, double the recipe and freeze half so you have an entire dinner!)
Here is the link to my Tahini Sauce recipe, which you can make while your meatballs are in the oven!
