Mexican Chicken Meatballs
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.

These low-fat meatballs taste fabulous on their own, but if you want to take things up a notch, serve with a dip of hot Velveeta cheese and salsa. You could also substitute ground white turkey for the chicken. —Katrina Lopes, Lyman, South Carolina
