Healthy Baked Meatballs

Here’s a classic comfort food with a nutritious twist! These meatballs are baked which makes them tender on the inside and crispier on the outside. They are the perfect meal prep food because everyone in the family loves them and they are so versatile.

I like to serve my meatballs with my extra green pesto sauce or a marinara sauce. Serve them over gluten-free pasta, zoodles, on a sub, crumbled over a salad or on their own. Like I said, so versatile! Keep a batch in the freezer and take out as needed!

*I like a little kick in my meatballs so I use spicy Italian turkey sausage. If you prefer a milder flavor, use mild Italian sausage.
