I think there are at least two reasons why you might want to make low-carb meatballs during December. First, meatballs are perfect for a holiday appetizer. You can even make them small and serve with toothpicks if you like the idea of finger food. And if you’re making something for a holiday party, low-carb meatballs can be tasty and won’t leave you feeling deprived if you’re at a party where there are a lot of sweets and other high-carb foods that you’d prefer to avoid.
And the other reason you might like to try low-carb meatballs right now is football watching, because crowd-pleaser foods like meatballs are perfect for that! And whether or not you watch football, doesn’t everyone love meatballs for a fun appetizer or even as a main course for dinner? This post features low-carb meatball ideas from bloggers around the web. I hope you’ll find a few you might like to try during the holidays!

Thanks Tally; glad you like it.
Thank you for featuring our turkey and sausage meatballs… one of our favorite foods for game day!
Donella, my pleasure! And I can certainly see why those would be a favorite!
Aren't meatballs the bomb? I have to admit though I keep my meatballs at an extremely basic italian sauasage + ground beef recipe. Only because when I buy the two meats, we end up making meat balls and freezing. So we use the meatballs for a lot of different meals; soups, meatball parm, a topping on pizza even. So, leaving it without spices helps. And it's still delicious! Great round up by the way.
Thanks Lisa, and having meatballs in the freezer is always so handy; great plan!
I've found a few on this list I'll be making for our next Seahawk's watching party. Those buffalo chicken meatballs look amazing!
Thanks, glad it was useful for you!
