We got 4 packs of ground turkey from Costco & are constantly trying to find different ways to cook it. And what better way to use ground meat than to make meatballs with it? After browsing a bunch of recipes online, I felt like I knew the gist of it & I was just going to wing it (not to mention I was late getting home & had to get this done quick).
All it took were...
1 pound ground turkey
1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
Salt & pepper
And all I had to do was...
Take the onion pieces & sweat them out until they're soft, let cool
Throw all the ingredients into a large bowl & season with salt/pepper
Using your hands, mixing everything together until well incorporated
Make a small patty & cook it to make sure the seasoning is good
Using your hands again, roll the mixture into 1 inch balls
Sear the meatballs in a pan until all the sides are browned (~5 min)
Continue to cook the meatballs in tomato sauce until cooked (~7 min)
Serve with a pasta of your choice.
And there you have it. If you are not thinking of cooking the meatballs for a pasta, you can continue cooking the meatballs after they've been browned using chicken broth or baking it. I thought the turkey was kind of mushy but it is ground meat after all. Surprisingly, these microwaved really well the day after.
