Turkey Meatballs

Turkey Meatballs
















Turkey Meatballs

¾ lb ground turkey, leaner is better
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg, beaten
1/3 cup dried bread crumbs
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 3 tablespoons dried)

In a large bowl, combine turkey, breadcrumbs, garlic, egg, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, 1/4 cup parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix to combine. DO NOT OVER MIX THEM! I usually just use my hands. Using a level 1-tablespoon measure for each, form mixture into meatballs (you should have about 24).

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. Add meatballs, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes.

These meat balls are great to freeze! I usually only use half of them and freeze the rest. To freeze place meat balls on a cookie sheet on top of wax paper at least 1 inch a part. Place in the freezer for 45 minutes. After they are frozen, place all in a freezer zip lock back. Will keep up to six months!
