Meatballs are a classic favorite comfort food but they can be high in calories. Using turkey instead of ground beef can lower the calories and make a healthier meal or appetizer. This page contains recipes for turkey meatballs.
I love greens, and rapini (also known as broccoli rabe) is one of my favorites. It goes well in this wonderful soup. Serve it with a good salad and crusty bread. Mmmm!
Mix the meatball ingredients. Form into walnut sized meatballs.
In a large pot, saute the garlic in oil for 1 minute. Add the broth, potatoes, and greens. Bring to a boil. Add the meatballs one at a time, keeping the soup bubbling. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes.
Remove about half the potatoes and mash them very well. Return to the soup to thicken it, stirring gently. Simmer 10 minutes more, then stir in the pepper. Be careful adding salt as the cheese is salty.

In a large skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, brown meatballs. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink. Remove meatballs and keep warm.
Combine the cornstarch, yogurt and lemon juice until smooth; gradually stir into cooking juices. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in carrot and onion; heat through. Serve over meatballs and noodles.
Very good

I enjoy making meatballs that are made in the slow-cooker. You can use lean ground beef or ground chicken instead of the ground turkey.
Warm vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring until softened, about four minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute longer. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
Place turkey in a large bowl. Add onion mixture, egg, and oats. Use your fingers to gently but thoroughly blend ingredients (do not over-mix). Dampen hands lightly and form mixture into about 20 1-1/2 inch meatballs.
Pour a small amount of sauce over bottom of crock pot. Add meatballs, alternating with sauce. Pour in 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook on high until meatballs are cooked through, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
