💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is lower in fat, while ground pork is often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheese blend

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor, while a cheese blend can be more budget-friendly.

Chop fresh parsley and rinse it thoroughly to remove dirt.

Dry the parsley on a towel and set it aside in a bowl.

Prepare the meat mixture with grass-finish beef and pork sausage, cheese, salt, pepper, and fresh garlic.

Crack 1 egg into the meat mixture.

Add breadcrumbs and freshly grated parmesan cheese to the mixture.

Mix the ingredients together using gloves, being careful not to over mix to avoid tough meatballs.

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

If preferred, cook the meatballs in the sauce instead of pan-frying them.

Make the sauce by heating a good bit of olive oil in a pan.

Add more fresh garlic to the heated olive oil.
