Turkey Spinach Meatballs
Turkey Spinach Meatballs
This is the second time I’ve made these turkey meatballs in the past week. They are easy to get together and packed with awesome flavor. I love that I could make a batch of 15 good sized meatballs and eat them for leftovers on my busy days! I actually made something else for dinner while these were cooking and placed them in a food container to eat for dinner the next day. I knew we had a busy day the next day, so I already had a good dinner ready to go. Planning ahead is planning to win!!
These meatballs are perfect after weight-loss surgery. If you’ve had the Gastric Sleeve or Gastric Bypass, you’ll appreciate these have no starches or grains in them. They are very low carb and packed with protein. This will ensure you are on your diet plan and are very filled and satisfied after your meal. I used ground turkey but any 90% lean ground meat will work. I find most patients prefer ground turkey after surgery! How about you??

I am trying to load the older recipe’s and they won’t load
Hi Melissa! We are working on a site update currently so the recipes link in the top navigation bar is currently “under construction” but the recipes should still be able to load. If you are having trouble finding or loading a particular recipe, you can email me at steph@foodcoach.me and I will both look into the broken recipe and email it to you in the meantime.
Thank you for posting the issue!!! Hopefully the site will be better than ever very soon :)
These were great! However I replaced sea salt with ranch seasoning. My toddler and I loved them
