A high-protein meatball recipe using lean turkey, egg whites, and wholesome ingredients, perfect for a healthy meal.
If you’re looking for a high-protein, low-fat meal that doesn’t compromise on flavor, these Muscle Meatballs are just what you need! 🦃 Packed with lean turkey, egg whites, and wholesome ingredients like oats and flaxseed, this recipe is perfect for meal prep, post-workout meals, or a healthy dinner option any day of the week.
Unlike traditional meatballs that rely on breadcrumbs and fatty meats, this recipe uses toasted wheat germ, quick oats, and flaxseed for a nutrient boost. These ingredients not only add texture and flavor but also increase fiber content — helping you stay fuller for longer.
And with the use of liquid egg whites instead of whole eggs, you get a protein-packed meal that’s low in cholesterol and fat, making it ideal for anyone looking to stay lean and energized. ⚡
The result? Juicy, protein-rich meatballs that pair perfectly with quinoa, steamed veggies, or a side of marinara. 🍅
For added flavor, mix in fresh herbs like parsley or oregano, or brush the meatballs with a touch of sriracha-honey glaze before baking for a sweet-spicy kick. 🌶️🍯
