Low Fat Meatballs Recipe
You can make a low fat meatball recipe either by using beef with a low amount of fat, or by using either a combination of 50% ground turkey and 50% low fat ground beef.
Meatballs can be a fun and easy meal. Using a meatball shaper makes preparing the perfect sized meatballs simple. Not to mention, you don't have to touch the meat when you use a meat baller.

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. Chubby Chan: A Book About Eating in Moderation is a great resource to have if you want to get your eating under control.
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.
