Turkey Meatballs

I've mentioned before that my sister is the real chef in the family. She can make a gourmet meal out of the most random ingredients you could think of. I was in Palm Springs with the fam last weekend, and my sister made some great meals.
These turkey meatballs were no exception. Healthy, surprisingly easy, and incredibly delicious. I would definitely recommend giving this recipe a try.




Turkey Meatballs


Ingredients:


  • 1.5 lbs Ground Turkey

  • 1 Egg

  • 2 tbsp Chopped Onion

  • 1 tbsp Parsley

  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs

  • 1/2 cup Pecorino, Romano, and Parmesan blend (or just Parmesan)

  • 1-2 cloves Minced Garlic

  • 1 tsp Oregano

  • Salt and Pepper to taste




Directions:



Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with tinfoil, and lightly grease with cooking spray (trust me-this will definitely help with clean-up later)
Mix everything together in a medium-large bowl. Separate and roll into balls.
Bake on the tinfoil-covered baking sheet at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Top with a spoonful of pasta sauce and some cheese and return to oven for about 5 more minutes.
It's a good idea to cut one in half to double check they are thoroughly cooked prior to serving.
They would also be good to freeze and heat up at a later time.
