I got some frozen trader joes turkey meatballs that everyone says is great. well i thought i heated them according to instructions but they came out tough as a boiled owl! whats the best way to cook these? I got a couple of bags since its a long way from where I live to the nearest TJ and i stock up on stuff when near, but can't eat these if they are like chewing nerf balls! any ideas? D

yeah i bought some too i think you might of put them in the microwave too long i know i did and they came out tough. try cooking them with a souce
I usually let them thaw and heat them up either just in the microwave or in sauce...

I just bought some Aidells' chicken meatballs (teriyaki) at costco for out last summer party/bbq. I have had them before from safeway,or lucky's but pretty $$$ like 5-6 bucks a pack! They are yummy so I don't mind paying a bit more. But, I was happy to find them at Costco!

I bought those trader joe's meatballs sometime post-op but never have gotten around to eating them. I'll be curious to hear what works for you Diane.
I've been eyeing those Aidell's meatballs at costco but the packages are so darn big for a single person. It really is incredible how little we eat in a day.

Hi -- I am still preop so I don't exactly know how I will tolerate tomatos post op with all the acid but the way I make the turkey meatballs (feeding a decent sized family) is to put them in the crockpot on low for around 8 hours with a pkg of white musrooms and a jar of low sugar marinara. They come out VERY moist that way. I serve them over pasta for my family but over the julienned veggies for me (also from traders joes) ii cook those by sauteing in a tsp of e.v. olive oil and a little chicken broth.
Hope that helps! Amy
