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.
