Turkey Meatballs with Summer Pasta Salad – and a Giveaway

PinExt Turkey Meatballs with Summer Pasta Salad   and a Giveaway

A few weeks ago Plum Organics asked me to create a recipe using one of their products for their Little Foodies Cookbox.  You all know how much I love sneaking extra nutrition into the meals around here.  Using ready-made vegetable purees in your recipes makes it easier than ever to get your kids to eat their veggies.  And Plum Organics uses 100% organic ingredients, without any added salt or sugar.  Perfect.

The Turkey Meatballs I made were happily gobbled down by everyone, adults included.  They were such a big hit that I’ve made them three times this month!  An instant family favorite.  They’re full of super healthy stuff, including Spinach, Peas & Pear but no one suspects a thing!  I love it when our meals are filled with smiles and giggles instead of the dreaded standoff over what’s on the kids’ plates.

The meatballs are light, tender, and full of flavor, and effortless to make.  They pair perfectly with the pasta salad, which is tossed with fresh, summery vegetables and herbs, along with luscious fresh mozzarella cheese.  I’m pretty sure I could eat this for a week and still want more.
