Must-Know Tips + Storage
One of my favorite things about meatballs is that you can prepare them ahead of time, freeze them, and have a few in the oven when you want them. Great for kids’ lunches or last minute dinners!
How to Freeze: Place your meatballs on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, you can transfer the meatballs to a freezer plastic bag. Freeze until ready to cook!
To store leftovers: If you have any leftover cooked meatballs, they should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for 2-3 days.
Serve your grilled turkey meatballs with your favorite side dish, some fettuccine Alfredo, or a big bowl of pasta! No matter what, you serve these and they’re sure to be a hit! How would you like to serve the meatballs?
