Traditional meatballs are made with a mixture of beef, pork, and veal. Turkey, lean and tender, replaces the latter two in these meatballs, saving you major calories while simultaneously providing your taste buds with major yum. And if anything, go heavy on the meatballs and light on the pasta. Either way, you'll save 600 calories alone by just avoiding Olive Garden's Spaghetti and Meatballs, plus, you'll save nearly 7 bucks by cooking at home. Now that's all kind of delicious, right?
