Susie Burrell's low-GI turkey meatballs

"Low-GI foods are more slowly digested, so they'll leave you feeling fuller for longer," Susie Burrell, nutritionist and Helga's Lower Carb ambassador, told ninemsn COACH.

"Try making simple swaps to your favourite recipes to integrate more Low GI foods into your weekly meal plan. My secret (until now!) recipe for turkey balls leaves me feeling full, gives me longer-lasting energy and is a firm family favourite at my dinner table."
