Red Pepper Bruschetta Turkey Meatballs – WLS Recipe
Red Pepper Bruschetta Turkey Meatballs – WLS Recipe
My local grocery store carries Jenny-O Italian Turkey Meatballs and they have quickly become a (nearly) every week grocery store purchase! I use them for my SUPER FAST 5 Minute Zucchini and Meatballs. When I didn’t have the ingredients I thought I had (mom brain) I created this little twist of a meal using jarred roasted red peppers for a bruschetta topping. The peppers are soft in texture and sweet in flavor with a tiny hint of the roasted flavor. The fresh basil…of course…really takes this meal to the next level!
A note to post-ops: while the turkey meatballs are fairly soft in comparison to some solid proteins, be sure to cut each meatball up into tiny bites before you get started. Then you can strategically get a little of the topping into each little bite of meatball. Always focus on more protein than anything but you’ll love the added flavor of the toppings!

Found fresh chicken bulk Italian sausage at my health food store. Made the meatballs from buffalo chicken meatballs with it but going to use them in place of the Turkey meatballs in this recipe. Sounds delicious!
