Trader Joe’s Turkey Meatballs with Marinara Sauce that is. TJ’s has always had a yummy assortment of frozen, pre-made meatballs; however, now they have added fresh meatballs and other Italian classics to their arsenal.
At $3.99 for a package of six, these meatballs are not quite as low calorie as their frozen companions… but MAN, are they GOOD!
I decided to try these goodies a few weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised. The meatballs taste homemade, with just the right amount of Italian seasoning and the marinara sauce is a wonderful addition. I do wish there was more sauce though, as you get perhaps 1-2 tbsp of sauce per ball.
When I say I love these meatballs, it’s an understatement. They are ridiculously delicious. I am the type of person that gets sick of a meal after once or twice… so I don’t do well with leftovers.
I ate two of these meatballs for lunch three days in a row last week and bought two more packages on Wednesday and have eaten them the last two days in a row. They are garlicky, satisfying, comfort food. They would be great on a sub or with some pasta. I’ve just been eating them by themselves with a little shaved Parmesan cheese. Mmmm…
You will find them in the refrigerator section, near their hummus, fresh meats and veggies. Definitely worth a try!
Never tried turkey meatballs, sounds really good, thanks!
Interesting because I have had kind of unfortunate trips to TJ’s as of late.
Not only that, but two of my friends recently bought packages of meat that had gone bad.
But I do love me some turkey meatballs…. Maybe when I go back to get my refund for the mouse-eaten chocolate chips I will get some turkey meatballs.
How sad is it that I just had a big & indulgent lunch and all I can think about now is “mmmmm turkeyyyyyy meeeeatballs”.
Ahhahahha, there is something wrong with me!
MVS – Well, that’s a bummer that you have had some bad mojo from TJ’s. Which store do you go to?
Well, the meatballs are really good. I find that TJ’s produce and refridgerated stuff DOES go bad a little faster than others, but I think it’s b/c it’s mostly natural and they don’t use many (if any) preservatives.
Oh… and there’s nothing ‘wrong with you’. Food is GOOD!
Well I’ve been burned so far by the TJ’s in Cambridge (Mem Drive), the Brookline store, and the Hanover location.
I would wash my hands of them but they have really nice management who are always so nice and so apologetic. Plus they have the best frozen food section. Oh and they are cheap!
So I can’t quite walk away yet and besides I’ve shopped there for a long time and this has only been a recent issue. Hopefully it is just a little glitch or something.
I really want to try those meatballs tho!
