SAVORY TURKEY-RICOTTA MEATBALLS
I'm not one to usually do turkey in my meatballs, but I saw this recipe in the recent issue of Cooking Light and decided to try since they are lower in fat. These can be used in spaghetti, substitute for beef in Stroganoff, or serve as as appetizer with warmed marinara dip, as the magazine suggests. Ricotta helps keep the lean ground turkey breast moist. Prepare them in advance, if you like, and store in the freezer for up to three months.
