In our attempts to eat healthy we have substituted much of our ground beef for ground turkey and surprisingly have loved the results. This is one of the hubby's favorites. We love our scrumptious meatballs! Note: I added the last five ingredients to make them especially good. This is a great recipe to experiment with.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp. sage or rosemary
- 2 Tb. grated parmesan cheese
- 1 Tb. garlic powder and/or onion powder
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 1/8 cup water
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the olive oil, and place it in the oven while preheating.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, sage or rosemary, parmesan cheese, garlic powder or onion powder, pepper and water using your hands. Using an ice cream scoop if possible, form the meat into golf ball sized meatballs. Place about 1 inch apart in the hot baking dish. Press down to flatten the bottom just slightly.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then turn them over, and continue baking for about 5 more minutes, or until somewhat crispy on the outside. Serve with pasta and sauce or however you'd like.
