Default Fluffy Meatballs

Depending on what your carb target is, textured vegetable protein (TVP) might be useful as a filler for meatballs. Soak it in seasoned water for several minutes then add it to your ground meat. About 1/2 cup dry weight per pound of meat will add 2-3g of carb per 1/2 lb serving (about 3 or 4 golf ball sized meatballs). Carbs vary by brand but most have about 8g fiber and 3g starches/sugars per 1/2 cup dry. It's also a good way to stretch ground beef in chili recipes.
