Low Calorie / Low Fat Meatballs

Submitted by Lori (Chef #400330)

"I'm pretty sure I trimmed this recipe down to the bare minimum, but it tastes great and they hold together well! I made my bread crumbs from low-cal whole wheat bread, which makes the recipe even (just a bit) leaner than the analysis. I modified this from a recipe that I found on Cooks.com."

These meatballs taste wonderfulll, and are healthy. The big problem I have with this recipie is that the directions are horrendous. They basically just say, "OK, here's the ingrediants, make meatballs!" This is a problem if you have never made them before! So, more instructions could improve this.
