Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey A lean protein choice; swap for ground chicken for a different flavor if desired.

  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic Adds depth of flavor; fresh garlic is ideal, but garlic powder can suffice.
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Green Onions Provides freshness and a nice crunch; diced onions can be substituted if needed.
  • 1 packet Ranch Seasoning Brings a burst of flavor; homemade versions give you control over ingredients.
  • to taste Salt & Pepper Basic seasonings to enhance your meatballs; always adjust to your taste.
