OUR FAVORITE TURKEY MEATBALLS

This recipe was adapted from Bob, one of the trainers on the Biggest Loser. A few summers ago, my husband and I were itching to lose a few pounds and my husband read Bob's book. It had some great recipes in it and the one for turkey meatballs sounded delicious.
Yum

I have adapted it a little bit but these meatballs are a staple in our household. I will often make a double batch and freeze them. 

The different ways we like to eat them are just plain with salt on them, with Marinara and a little cheese, over pasta or they are terrific as meatball sandwiches. 

I remember my mom frying meatballs growing up and I would stand over the kitchen counter, salt them and eat them right then and there fresh from the skillet. I do the same with these so you can bet every batch is missing a couple that have gone in my mouth. 

I use just a tiny bit of olive oil to fry them in and of course always made with ground turkey but I'm sure you could substitute ground sirloin and I've even tried ground chicken.

What you'll need

OUR FAVORITE TURKEY MEATBALLS

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 Tablespoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dry beef bouillon

3 teaspoons garlic

2 eggs

1/4 cup italian bread crumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Marinaria of your choice

Directions

Mix all the ingredients together well. I usually take off my rings and mix with my hands and then roll them into 1 1/2-2 inch balls. Heat a ½” layer of olive oil on medium high in a large skillet and brown meatballs on each side, about 5-8 minutes each side until done through. Transfer to paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with more salt. Eat plain or with marinara and some shredded parm or mozzarella and maybe your favorite pasta.
