Not Your NaNa's Meatballs

Traditional meatballs are usually made of three kinds of ground meat (pork, veal and beef) and browned in a frying pan.

Sometimes I want a meatball but not all the heaviness that comes along with them. I love ground turkey and use it quite often.

Turkey Meatballs:

1 lb ground turkey

1 egg beaten

1 tbsp each sea salt and freshly ground pepper

1 tbsp garlic powder

1/4 c Italian style bread crumbs

1/8 c Parmesan cheese

1/8 c each fresh basil and Italian parsley, chopped

Preheat oven to 425*F. Combine all ingredients until well mixed. Form meatballs about 1 1/2 in in diameter and arrange on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides.
