Chelle's Famous Turkey Meatballs image

I make these all the time-and my family complains I don't make them enough! I usually make a big batch (3 lbs of turkey breast) so that I can make a couple of meals out of them- Swedish Meatballs, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Meatballs with Baked Ziti and Marinara, Meatball sandwiches, or just put your favorite sauce on them in a...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lb ground turkey breast
3 eggs
1 c fine breadcrumb (old london or progresso are best,seasoned)
1/2 c asiago 3-cheese blend, shredded (asagio,parm,romano blend)
garlic powder, to taste
onion powder, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
cajun-louisiana seasoning blend, to taste (like luzianne cajun seasoning or tony chachere's )
3 Tbsp canola oil, (optional) for pan cooking

Steps:

  • 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey and eggs until thoroughly mixed.
  • 2. Add seasonings to suit your taste. I tend to be fairly heavy handed,especially with garlic and black pepper. ;) Mix completely.
  • 3. Add cheese and bread crumbs. *If mixture is still too moist, feel free to add more bread crumbs until desired consistency is achieved.
  • 4. Roll into large, walnut sized balls and set aside.
  • 5. To fry: In a large skillet, warm 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Cook meatballs until golden brown, turning so that each side is browned. (Hint- a screen is helpful since the oil may pop and splatter like bacon).
  • 6. To bake: Place meatballs on a foiled or lightly sprayed pan and bake in oven at 360 degrees for 30-35 min (oven times may vary).
  • 7. Serving tip: My family likes these plain, with Contadina sweet and sour sauce (doctored up) on brown rice, in a marinara over your favorite pasta, slice in half on French rolls with marinara and cheese for a great meatball sandwich, in Swedish meatballs, in a BBQ sauce or anything for a party, you name it! They do freeze well too. Enjoy! ;).

These meatballs were a little dry for my taste. I think I needed to add more moisture, maybe some bread crumbs or grated vegetables.
