Key to juicier lean meatballs

-

In an effort to cook healthier, you’ve been making your famous meatballs with ground turkey or lean beef, but they just don’t turn out as tender and moist as your usual recipe. The save: Try adding 1⁄ cup of finely shredded zucchini

2 or carrots per pound of meat before shaping the mixture into balls. The vegetables will melt into the meat as it cooks, adding moisture and savory flavor to the meatballs.
