Answer 1

Ground Turkey Meatball Recipe

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey

1 egg

2 cloves of garlic finely chopped

2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

1/3 cup onion finely chopped

½ cup plain breadcrumbs

1 8 ounce can of diced tomatoes (drain off some of excess juice)

1 4 ounce can of tomato sauce

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Bread of choice or noodles (rolls or other hard buns are great for this recipe)

In a large bowl mix together turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, and garlic. Allow to rest in refrigerator for one hour. This helps the flavor distribute throughout the meat. Form meatballs just smaller than a ping pong ball. Using a nonstick pan, brown meatballs and remove from pan. Add onion and cook until they become translucent. Stir in the remaining ingredients and add back meatballs simmering for 20 minutes. Serve meatballs with sauce on bread or noodles. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
