Low fat meat is the key to this recipe's success. It's got great flavor without all the fat.
We happen to think that the key to a healthy life is eating right and learning to enjoy through moderation. We love chocolate cookies in our house, but we normally only make a ½ a batch so we don't eat too many all at once.
These are great little meatballs, and they freeze well. You won't feel deprived when you make spaghetti! Make a couple batches ahead of time, cook them up, cool them down in the refrigerator and then freeze them for about 20 minutes on baking sheets so they don't stick together, and put in freezer safe bags.

Being in South Africa I had the opportunity to use ostrich meat which is also very low fat meat. I followed the basic recipe and instructions, just added some smoked tobasco.
Made 3 batches and froze two. Are very good.
