Paleo Curry Turkey Ricotta Spinach Meatballs

Paleo Curry Turkey Ricotta Spinach Meatballs (Low Fodmap, SIBO Friendly, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Paleo turkey meatballs are a healthier alternative to red meat-based meatballs. My version is gluten free, grain free, and low carb. Trust me when I say they are not bland and tasteless. They are actually moist and full of flavor, thanks to the unexpected addition of dairy free Kite Hill Ricotta and fresh spinach. These turkey meatballs can be fried in a pan or oven baked, depending on your preference. Once cooked, they’re freezer-friendly, too!  I prefer the baked version because it keeps the fat on the lower range. I often fit in macros throughout my day so I like to save my fat for ohhhhhh lets say something like almond butter!

I love turkey meatballs because they’re a little leaner and lighter than your typical meatball might be. So, the calories are bit lower than traditional red meat. If you haven't tried a turkey version meatball yet I encourage you to do so! I happen to eat my meatballs for breakfast with one of my muffins. It's a perfect protein source and when you are egg and dairy free they can be a life savor!
