Turkey ham is lower in fat, while bologna is more affordable.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: panko breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Crushed crackers provide a similar texture at a lower cost.

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Ground chicken is often less expensive and retains moisture.

Cook chicken breast until fully cooked, then shred.

Mix shredded chicken with diced ham, grated cheese, ground pepper, salt, and paprika in a bowl.

Form mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Dredge each ball in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer and fry balls until golden brown.
