Baked Ground Turkey Porcupine Meatballs image

My mom used to make porcupine meatballs in her pressure cooker. When I did not have a pressure cooker, I came up with this adaption by baking the meatballs. Even though I've also reduced some of the fat and cholesterol these are still a huge favorite of my family and friends. Family tradition is to serve these with mashed...

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lb lean ground turkey
1/2 c uncooked long grain rice
1/2 c egg beaters, or egg substitute
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tsp mrs. dash onion herb seasoning
sea salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
2 can(s) campbell's healthy request cream of tomato soup
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 can(s) water

Steps:

  • 1. Mix first 6 ingredients well; shape into 24 meatballs; put into a lightly sprayed 2 qt. baking dish. (I generally use a 9X13", or slightly larger glass dish)
  • 2. This is my "easy meatball assembly" trick: Cover your cutting board with wax, or parchment paper. Take the meatball mixture and shape into a long, thin rectangle; Use your knife to score the meat into even size portions; pinch off segments & roll well to form the meatballs; Place into greased pan.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • 4. Mix soup with water and Worcestershire Sauce; pour over the meatballs; The liquid should pretty well cover the meatballs, so add more water, if necessary.
  • 5. Cover tightly with aluminum foil; bake for 1-1/2 hours, gently stirring 2 times during baking, making sure to tightly seal after each turn. If the meatballs are well covered, I skip stirring or turning them.
  • 6. If you want a thicker sauce, when meatballs are done, remove foil cover and leave in oven about 10 more minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my meatballs turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I made these meatballs in my air fryer and they turned out perfectly! They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

These meatballs were a great way to use up some leftover ground turkey. They were easy to make and very flavorful.

Not a fan of the texture of these meatballs. They were a bit too dense for my liking.

These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and they were much better.

Easy to make and delicious! I used brown rice instead of white rice, and they turned out great.

I've never been a fan of turkey meatballs, but these were surprisingly good! The sauce was flavorful and the meatballs were moist and tender.

These meatballs were a hit with my family! They were so juicy and flavorful. I used ground turkey breast, and they were still very moist. I will definitely be making these again.
