• Making Mayo’s Recipes: Stock your freezer with homemade meatballs

Meatballs are a quick, make-ahead option for turning ground turkey, chicken or lean beef into dinner. You can roll and freeze uncooked meatballs when you have time. Then thaw and bake for 15 minutes on a busy night.

Need some ideas for serving meatballs? Make meatball subs made with whole-wheat buns, marinara sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Or toss meatballs with chicken broth, kale and white beans for a quick soup. Finally, for a low-carb twist on spaghetti and meatballs, trade your usual pasta for roasted spaghetti squash strands.
