Cooked Perfect gluten-free Turkey Italian Meatballs

My DD had these meatballs at a friends house in Miami, and she loved them. They were bought at BJ's. I live 1 county over & the BJ's here does not have them. Their website is minimal so I posted on the company's Facebook pg. Their reply was worthless, gave no info where their product was available in the fort lauderdale area. These meatballls are very good. I've tried to duplicate them to no avail. I wish i could buy them locally & have this option as part of a gluten-free meal sometimes.  

 

Has anyone else had these delicious meatballs?

mamaw Community Regular

odd,  they  state gluten-free  right  on front  of  package...they  have  both  wheat  ones  &  the gluten-free  ones  at  Sam's  side by side.......

The COOKED PERFECT gluten-free meatballs at BJ'S are larger than the CASA ones at sams. They fit the hogie bread better but for spaghetti n meatballs I prefer the smaller CASA meatballs.

Went to BJs as I ran out of meatballs but they didn't have the turkey gluten-free, They had a beef/pork offering that's also gluten-free. We like these too, but if given a choice would buy the turkey.

put these meatballs (or any gluten-free meatball) on a Udis hoagie roll with mozzarella, tomato sauce , black pepper n sprinkle with Parmesan. Pop in toaster oven till cheese melts . OMG it's so good! DD said its one of the best things she's ever had! A real Italian meatball sub!

LauraTX Rising Star

Oh, a meatball sub sounds delicious!!!!!  I noticed that the farm rich meatballs which have never had gluten ingredients, are now labeled gluten free.  They have regular, italian,and turkey.  

maximoo Enthusiast

Laura yes make some meatball subs. So good n filling! The Udis French baguettes are perfect.

maximoo, sorry I never got back here. I am in Coral Springs. Green Wave Cafe is on Broward Blvd near the turnpike. strictly gluten free place, it's vegan and raw, which I don't need, but there's no gluten on the premises so I know I'm good there. one of the few places i go to. 

mamaw Community Regular

no BJ'S  in our  area!!!!

maximoo Enthusiast

Hey julissa...thx for the info but raw & vegan...? Yuck! Lol what other restaurants do u go to? My DD went to Cheesecake Factory at sawgrass & she had a gluten-free meal hamburger on a gluten-free bun, and they have gluten-free chocolate cake! She was in heaven!

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
