Turkey Swedish Meatballs

Teresa Ambra
Turkey Swedish Meatballs are so mouthwatering. This comfort food meal is made with ground turkey rather than ground beef shaving some calories off the meal. But the flavor isn't shaved! This irresistible entree is a stick-to-the-ribs meal that will have you coming back for more. Good thing, too, because this entree reheats wonderfully. If you enjoy meatballs, this is a great recipe to add to your repertoire.
