With summer entertaining in full swing, how about trying this delicious skinny meatball recipe to serve up easy turkey meatballs to your guests. These are great for kids, too.
Baking them in the oven keeps the turkey meat moist, and you avoid drying them out by over-cooking in a crock pot.
The meatballs will take on the flavor of the BBQ sauce you serve them with. I love using a sweet and tad bit spicy BBQ sauce.
