Tasty Turmeric Chicken Meatball Bake Recipe is Hearty, Healthy Goodness
This satisfying dish is savory, saucy and spiced just right
Meatballs cooked in a savory sauce is the kind of dish I crave on chilly nights. And while I love a traditional version like meatballs in spaghetti sauce, sometimes it’s fun to mix it up a bit and create a different, but just as flavorful, sauce. That’s how we came up with this turmeric chicken meatball bake recipe. Turmeric is a golden-orange spice that adds deep flavor to foods. Studies show that it has many health benefits, such as protecting against the flu and helping to reduce inflammation. In this recipe, we add turmeric plus cumin, another healthy spice, to ground chicken, along with garlic and basil . We quickly brown the meatballs in a skillet, then nestle them into a creamy sauce and bake. They are so delicious!
This dish takes just 10 minutes to prep, so it’s perfect for busy weeknights. Watch our video to see how easy it is.
