I’m a busy mom just like the rest of you and I don’t have a whole lot of time to prepare dinner so I thought “What can I make that is easy and quick and yet tastes good too”.
I know that I could easily go to the supermarket and buy some quick frozen food and that would be the end of it. But I started to think about my health when we had our daughter, plus my husband has high blood pressure and I don’t want to add to his condition.
So...I went thru some of my mother’s recipe books and decided to cook my own food...but I wanted to make great tasting food rather quickly...food that doesn’t take up my whole entire night to create. I started out with small items like homemade meatballs and spaghetti sauce for dinner.
I know what your thinking...how hard is it to make meatballs and spaghetti just buy them right? Again I’m trying to make food that is tasty AND healthy without all the preservatives and added salt to my husbands diet.
The first recipe for meatballs tasted very plain...my picky husband (who is italian) hated them so the I tried different seasonings, herbs, spices but nothing seemed to work. Then I said to myself what about different meat? I tried the ground meat, then I tried ground meat with pork and then I tried ground turkey YES ground turkey makes the greatest meatballs in my opinion. I bought some ground turkey from my local supermarket (Italian style) and I guarantee you that your family will not know the difference. And by the way you can make moist flavorful meatballs with ground turkey!
Give this recipe a try...I can almost guarantee that you and your family will love them just as much as my family does. Just don't tell them they are made with ground turkey. ENJOY!
