crispy turkey veggie meatballs

I like to add veggies to the main dish instead of as a side to ensure that kids will eat them. In this recipe for turkey-veggie meatballs I add a lot of veggies to the meatballs and everyone loves them.

    The veggies really added lots of flavor – otherwise the meatballs would have had no taste. It could use a nice sauce – not tomato. I’d love to see what your recipe contributors could come up with.

    Meatballs were big hit last night. Served it with a mix of spaghetti squash and regular spaghetti over tomato sauce.
