Turkey-Veggie Meatballs

I love this meat ball recipe and have been making it for years. My Father is Italian, and this reminds me of a lighter version of the meat balls he made when I was a kid. This recipe is from Cooking Light. ( I have also made this using a combination of beef, sausage, and/or ground turkey as well)
