Hungry Mans Turkey Meat Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle the olive oil and canola oil in an even layer over the paper.
• Pour the breadcrumbs into a large mixing bowl, pour the milk over top and stir to fully moisten the breadcrumbs. Add the remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix with your hands just until combined.
• Scoop 1/4-cupfuls of meatball mixture and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet; you should have 12 meatballs. Gently roll them into balls. Bake until bottoms are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and continue to bake for 15 to 20 minutes more until the meatballs are cooked through.

Steps:

• I called these HUNGRY MANS MEAT BALLS, OR THEY COULD HAVE BEEN CALLED MAN PLEASING MEAT BALLS because of the size. I made them the size of golf balls to please my MEAT LOVING HUSBAND. But you can make them smaller if you like. I could only eat one with the quick sauce and pasta that I made to go with it. Of course I had to have garlic bread too. Some of the ingredients used in the recipe.
• Add the ground turkey to a large bowl.
• Combine all of the spices together in a small bowl. Then add them to the ground turkey, or add each one individually if desired.
• Add both of the dry Italian seasoning packets.
• Then add the Panko, grated cheese blend, & both eggs & minced garlic.
• Stir to mix together, but not too much.
• Just until mixture holds together. Spray a long pan with cooking spray or use aluminum foil and spray, then shape meat Balls into desired size. I got 24 units from my mixture, shaping about the size of golf balls.
• Place in Preheated 350 degrees F. oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. I baked for 40 minutes. Temperature should be around 180 degrees F. I then made a pasta sauce and added the meat balls to the sauce.
• You can serve them plain if desired, with the sauce, or as desired. I am sure You will enjoy this TURKEY ONLY healthier version of meat Balls.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. In a bowl mix together; green onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. With a fork stir in ground turkey or chicken and season to taste with salt and pepper. (You can crumble some in a skillet, cook, taste, and then adjust seasoning). Shape mixture into small meatballs. In a large skillet heat olive oil. Add meatballs in a single layer and let them cook for 2 to 3 minutes a side, without disturbing. If they stick, loosen with a slotted spoon. Stir in tomato sauce into the skillet, cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes (while spaghetti is cooking) to reheat sauce and cook meatballs through. Drain pasta and then return to the pot and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Dish out a portion of pasta on each plate and spoon some meatballs and sauce in center.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs, onion, chives, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes, if using, and mix well. Add turkey and egg and blend with your hands until well mixed. If you've got time, cover mixture and chill for an hour or up to 24 hours. These are easiest to form into balls while very cold. Form into 28 meatballs, each about 1 1/4-inches in diameter.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large sauté pan. When hot, add enough of the meatballs to fit in one layer without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, add another tablespoon of oil to pan and brown another layer of meatballs, transferring them to the plate as they brown. Repeat until all meatballs are browned, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
• When meatballs are all browned, add marinara sauce to pan and bring to a simmer, scraping up the browned bits on the pan bottom. Return meatballs and their juices to pan, shake pan to cover the meatballs with sauce, and lower heat. Partly cover pan and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve hot, drizzled with more olive oil and sprinkled with more cheese, if you like.
