These meatballs are some of the best I ever had. They have a light texture, a delicate balance of spices, and a nice creamy sauce. The recipe, with just one small change, comes from a package of Just Perfect seasoned ground turkey. Note that there is not much sauce, so if you want a lot of sauce, you might want to double the liquids and the flour. These meatballs are good over noodles or rice.

PERFECT TURKEY MEATBALLS

Juicy meatballs made with lean ground turkey breast and seasoned with garlic, fresh ginger, and a touch of soy. They do not taste oriental as the seasonings may suggest, but easy to tweak in that direction as desired. All that and low fat, too!

PERFECT TURKEY MEATBALLS

When I cut back the amount of red meat my family ate meatballs were one of the first recipes I changed. It took some trial and error until I came up with this delicious recipe

Provided by Teal West-Craig

Categories     Turkey

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground turkey
3/4 c italian bread crumbs
1 large egg
1/8 c parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 pinch garlic powder
2 pinch onion powder
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
1 c italian bread crumbs, for rolling
1/8 c extra virgin olive oil
1 c chicken broth

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl mix the first 9 ingredients and form into balls of the size you desire
  • 2. Put e.v.o.o. in a large frying pan and turn the heat to medium. While the oil is heating up roll each meatball in the extra cup of bread crumbs.
  • 3. Pan fry meatballs until they are browned
  • 4. Place chicken broth and fried meatballs in another large pan and bring to boil. Once it is boiling cover and turn down to simmer. Simmer until almost all of the chicken broth is gone. Check internal temperature of the meatballs to ensure they are fully cooked.
  • 5. Serve with your choice of pasta and sauce or as a meatball sandwich and enjoy

Tips:

  • Be gentle. Overworking the meat will make your meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients lightly and handle them as little as possible.
  • Keep it moist. Adding breadcrumbs, bread crumbs, or cooked rice to your meatballs will help prevent them from drying out. You can also add some grated vegetables, such as carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers, to add moisture and flavor.
  • Season well. Don't be afraid to season your meatballs well. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper per pound of meat. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Brown the meatballs before cooking them through. This will give them a nice crust and help lock in the flavor. You can brown the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat or in a baking dish in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cook the meatballs until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the meatballs should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce. Turkey meatballs are delicious served with a variety of sauces, including tomato sauce, marinara sauce, or gravy. You can also add them to soups, stews, or casseroles.

Conclusion:

Turkey meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that your whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner option, give turkey meatballs a try.
