Hey friends!
Today I wanted to share a recipe that we tried last night that was absolutely delicious and it was a HUGE hit!
I’m always on the lookout for fast, healthy, and yummy recipes so when I saw these Herbed Turkey Meatballs on McCormick.com I knew they would be a perfect dinner option for my meatball loving family, and because Halloween is just around the corner I wanted to make a fun and creepy kind of dinner by turning those meatballs into “eyeballs.”
Then you can tell your kids…You better eat your veggies because I’m watching you!!!
Mwua-ha-ha-ha-ha!!
I mean, come on! How great would these be served at a Halloween party!?
What you’ll need for the meatballs….
- 1lb. ground turkey
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- McCormick Dried Basil
- McCormick Dried Oregano
- McCormick Garlic Poweder
- McComick black pepper
- kosher salt
To turn it into “eyeball” sandwiches…
- baguette
- spaghetti sauce
- mozzerrella
- sliced black olives
- Once mixed up in a big bowl, roll out your meatballs (We were able to get 12 medium sized ones)
- Bake in the oven at 375 for about 15 minutes
- While those are in the oven, heat up some spaghetti sauce on your stove and drop the cooked meatballs into it when they’re done
- Serve over pasta or in our case on a hot baguette
But don’t just make these for Halloween. These super easy, fluffy, and flavorable turkey meatballs are definitely going into my recipe binder for a go-to dinner option any night of the week.
Oh and one last thing…

Terrific sounding meatballs with turkey no less. I like that! Creepy eyes are cute. My little goblins would gobble those right up. Oh and I always have McCormick Dill; it gives a yummy zip to egg or tuna salad.
Cheers!

What a great looking and tasty Halloween idea. I’ve always loved McCormick- my go to spices are lemon pepper; Montreal steak and chicken and I’m always using paprika. They’re spices have a lasting freshness to them that is hard to find.
My favorite McCormick spice is their Mexican spices. Lots of ways to use it.
