Directions
Baked Turkey Meatballs With Peperonata, We love meatball sandwiches and wanted something with a bit less fat & calories than beef We love turkey burger and decided to give a meatball a try These meatballs are moist and flavorful & the peppers give it a nice zing We put them on a toasted hamburger bun, but any nice sandwich roll will do nicely , We love meatball sandwiches and wanted something with a bit less fat & calories than beef We love turkey burger and decided to give a meatball a try These meatballs are moist and flavorful & the peppers give it a nice zing We put them on a toasted hamburger bun, but any nice sandwich roll will do nicely
