These turkey and tofu meatballs are juicy, tender, and super addictive. I love making these for a weeknight dinner but the possibilities are endless. You can add them to a pasta for a spaghetti and meatball dinner or have them as an appetizer or finger food.  

I’m always trying to find ways to get more plant-based foods into my diet, and this recipe is a great way to do it.  If you’re like me then, you must try this recipe. The meatballs are so flavorful, you won’t notice the tofu snuck in there. 

This recipe makes 30 to 35 meatballs.
