Any combination of mediterranean herbs you like will work in this meatball recipe. Common herbs include basil, oregano, thyme, chives, sage, parsley, tarragon, and rosemary.
Mediterranean Turkey Meatballs
We use two different herbs but go ahead and use more if you prefer. There are no Carbs in the meatballs. The key to keeping them moist is not to overcook them.
Have them alongside a salad or in Mediterranean Turkey Meatball Soup.
