Vitamin A-packed canned pumpkin puree replaces breadcrumbs and adds moisture to these delicious turkey meatballs. Serve them over regular, whole wheat, or chickpea spaghetti tossed with your favorite marinara sauce, or amp up the veggie quotient of this recipe by serving the meatballs over roasted spaghetti squash strands. Make sure to buy canned pumpkin puree (which is just pumpkin) and not pumpkin pie filling (which has added sugar and seasonings).
