Tuscan Turkey Meatballs

Tuscan Turkey Meatballs

adapted from The Spice & Tea Exchange

When we were in Savannah, GA, I visited The Spice & Tea Exchange and got to buy some of their wonderful spice blends. If you don't have the advantage of having the specific spice blends substitute what you have in your cabinet.
