Turkey Meatballs in Sauce

EverydayCooked

Turkey meatballs in sauce are a lean protein dish consisting of seasoned ground turkey shaped into spheres and simmered in a savory sauce, often tomato-based. Compared to traditional beef meatballs, this version offers lower saturated fat while retaining high-quality protein, with the sauce enhancing both moisture and flavor complexity. Typically prepared with herbs, breadcrumbs, and aromatics, they are commonly served with pasta, in sandwiches, or as a standalone entrée in Mediterranean and American cuisines.
