Slow Cooker Turkey Meatballs

Turkey is a great lean substitute for beef. You can make burgers, sloppy joes, and of course meatballs. Using a slow cooker really allows all of the flavors to be absorbed and keeps the meat moist. The best thing about a slow cooker is that you can leave it on for hours, even if you need to leave for work or run errands. This makes a very easy guilt free weeknight meal!

 

Take your ground turkey meat and roll it into 12 small meatballs. You can add in some chopped onion and garlic into the ground turkey for even more flavor in every bite! Place the turkey meatballs in your slow cooker and pour in the 2 cans of tomatoes. I used diced tomatoes and stewed tomatoes with onion, celery, and green pepper but you can use any canned mix you prefer. Chop up some onion and fresh garlic and stir it into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours. Serve over spaghetti squash, or your favorite low carb pasta, and enjoy!
