Cooked Perfect gluten-free Turkey Italian Meatballs

[maximoo]

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?

hi maximoo, they sound great, hoping my BJ's gets them.

 

looks like we're neighbors, have you ever been to Green Wave Cafe? 

[mamaw]

I haven't tried  the brand  you mentioned  but  Sam's Club  carries a gluten-free  meatball made  from chicken  they are  CASA Brand... ALso  very good....

Julissa I live in Lauderhill...Where r u located? No never heard of Green Wave cafe.

 

MaMaw, thx. i will check those meatballs out. 

[mamaw]

maximoo,,,,, I have faked people out many times with these gluten-free meatballs, even had meatball subs one night when friends came over & stayed for supper....I had nothing planned for extra people so I did the subs & what a hit.....

[maximoo]

mamaw, i love meatball subs gluten-free or not. lol (im not gluten-free but my kids are)

are these  CASA meatballs italian style?

[mamaw]

yes, I believe  they   say that  but  not  positive.....I don't  have a bag  at present  ... I  try to keep a  bag  for  just  in  case.....but  ran out!!!!

[maximoo]

mamaw, i looked at CASA website n they show no gluten-free meatballs! the website is minimalistic tho...Doesnt seem like the keep the site up...?

[mamaw]

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.......

Mamaw, I found the meatballs at sams today. They are made by DAILY CHEF. They are beef, Italian style. Yes it does say gluten free when you study the pkg. will try them 2mrw!

[mamaw]

Glad  you found  them,  we  like  them  for rush  suppers!!!! I hope  you  enjoy them....

[maximoo]

My sams finally got the turkey gluten-free meatballs. So-o-o good!!!

[mamaw]

glad  you found  them......and  like  them as  much as we  do!!!!

[maximoo]

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.

[maximoo]

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]

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]

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]

no BJ'S  in our  area!!!!

[maximoo]

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!
