Super Bowl Sunday is fast approaching! If you haven’t decided what to make for your football party, meatballs are a popular appetizer. You can easily make them in advance and it’s the perfect finger food. I used lean ground turkey and baked the meatballs for a healthier alternative. Pair these meatballs with your favorite dip or add into your tomato sauce for classic spaghetti and meatballs.
This is a basic meatball recipe you can easily alter to your taste. Feel free to use chopped spinach or kale if you don’t have parsley or add in some grated Parmesan for a salty bite. For extra spice, chili powder would also be a nice option. The possibilities are endless!
