Why This Dish Is So Satisfying

These meatballs are juicy and flavorful without the need for eggs. They use simple ingredients that bind the meat naturally, making them perfect for those with egg allergies or anyone looking for a lighter option. Plus, they cook quickly and hold together well.

Tips From The Kitchen

- Use lean ground turkey for the best texture and flavor.
- Mix the ingredients gently to avoid tough meatballs.
- Let the meatball mixture rest for a few minutes before shaping to improve binding.

Step 1

Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, bring some water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Once boiling, stir in the butter, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water is gone. Once the rice is done, let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes so it’s easier to handle.

Step 2

When the rice has cooled, mix it together with the ground turkey in a medium bowl until everything is well combined. Then, take small handfuls of the mixture and roll them into meatballs about the size of golf balls. Arrange the meatballs on an ungreased baking sheet.

Step 3

Pop the tray in the oven and bake for around 45 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. Once done, you can enjoy them right away or add your favorite sauce.

Perfect Pairings

Serve these meatballs over spaghetti or zucchini noodles with your favorite marinara sauce. They also work great as a protein-packed snack or inside a sub sandwich topped with melted cheese.

Storing This Dish

Store cooked meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze them on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to keep them moist.
