I love, love, love freezer meals. They make dinner time so much easier. These freezer friendly turkey meatballs are fantastic to keep on hand. They are tasty, kid friendly, and are good for a variety of meals.
I also really love to make these meatballs for any new moms. It is a great thing they can stash in their freezers for a quick meal like pasta or meatball subs. Freezer meals can be such a blessing when you have a newborn and are running on no sleep!
What can I make with these turkey meatballs?
The possibilities are endless. There are a lot of great things you can make with these meatballs including easy weeknight meatball subs, baked spaghetti squash with meatballs, pasta with tomato sauce, or throw them in the crockpot with grape jelly and barbecue sauce.
I think these are really great staple to have on hand for busy weeknights.
Do I have to freeze them?
You don’t have to freeze these if you’re ready to eat them now. Just go ahead and cook them and serve them.
How do I freeze them?
To freeze these meatballs let them cool and place them in a freezer safe ziplock bag with as much air let out as possible. They are good for three to four months in the freezer.
