Sneaky Turkey Meatballs image

Like most kids, mine refuse to eat certain veggies. In order to feed them healthy foods, I have to be sneaky sometimes. The veggies give these meatballs a pleasing texture while providing valuable nutrients-and I'm happy to say my kids love 'em. -Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
