RECIPE: Turkey Reuben Meatballs {Lower Fat, Gluten Free}

If you like Reuben Sandwiches but are gluten free now, or maybe just trying to not consume so much fatty meat, have I got a treat for you!




By swapping out the rye breadcrumbs in the original meatball recipe for some gluten free oats and caraway seeds and you get all of the flavor with none of the gluten.



Plus, using lean ground turkey cuts back on the fat for a lovely healthy party food or weekend finger food. 


I used deli corned beef that wasn't super fatty, so if you're looking for lower fat, don't be afraid to splurge a little. I promise they are worth it!
