Quick and easy for lunch or dinner.

Premade chicken Meatballs (found organic at Whole Foods). Place in mini muffin tin and cook per directions (these were pre-cooked but I heated longer than it said to). Heat some marinara out of a jar. 2 meatballs, 2 T marinara, add 1/4c mozerrella. About 170 calories. About 16g Protein. Very good and a nice change from plain chicken.

I'll have to look for those, sounds good. The mini turkey meatballs at Trader Joe's are tasty, too. We had them with spaghetti squash and prego light pasta sauce (lower carb) with some mozzarella melted on top.

Aidells caramelized onion meatballs (frozen section) are awesome too! Made with chicken.

What great ideas! Thanks. I'm preop waiting for insurance ok and losing weight in anticipation. All of these suggestions sound good to use now.

Are turkey meatballs ok?

Check the sugar content on the turkey meatballs and if there's no added sugar, go to town! I am always surprised how many brands add sugar to their meatballs. I have found a few that don't and turkey meatballs are what I use =)

I would just make them homemade and use jennie-o meat

I made Greek Turkey Meatballs. Used ground turkey, feta cheese and black olives. Cooked them in the mini muffin tins. Dipped them in dill yogurt dip. Delish. Oh, I added basil and oregano too.

Sounds good!
