Turkey Pesto Meatballs

Meatballs are a beautiful thing. My mom used to make ketchup/brown sugar meatballs for us all the time and I would turn up my nose at the thought of eating round chunks of ground beef, but I’ve since come to my senses and warmed up to the beauty of the meatball. These Turkey Pesto Meatballs are made with lean turkey mean (because, health) and homemade Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto! If you’re not a lucky duck like me and don’t have sun-dried tomato pesto on hand, you can use any old basil pesto, kale pesto, or any pesto at all.

The meatballs are sautéed in a bit of pesto until they completely absorb the delicious basil-tomato flavor. Serve Turkey Pesto Meatballs on top of zucchini noodles like I did, or over any pasta. These might be some of the most flavorful, delicious meatballs I’ve ever had. They’re definitely going on my list of dinners to make on the reg.
