    I eat turkey/chicken meatballs with almost every meal. I'll pair them up with a scrambled egg wrap for breakfast to pump up my protein; with raw veggies & hummus, rice and veg, soup, quinoa, etc. for lunch and supper. They're my fave! :)

    I would make a quick marinara for that.

    2 cans of San Marzano plum tomatoes
    3 TB minced onion
    Garlic
    Basil

    Hand crush the tomatoes (remove the hard parts). Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil until soft. Pour in tomatoes. Cook down at a low simmer for 30 minutes. Add torn bits of basil.

    You can even pour the whole mixture over quinoa, spaghetti squash or what pasta.

    It is totally up to you. Sometimes I do, sometimes I go plain. I add a lot of spice to mine, so they taste just fine on their own. I've also been known to eat them with a little ketchup or mustard sometimes. Mmmm. Meatballs.

    I make ground chicken breast meatballs...add balsamic vinegar into the mixture and it adds a lot of flavor. I pan fry mine..then bake them in the lowest caloire tomato sauce I can find..I think hunts topped a tablespoon or two of shaved parmasean cheese. they are delicious.
