Family Approved Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (or GF substitute)
• 1/4 cup milk (or non-dairy substitute – unflavored)
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 lbs. ground turkey (I use dark meat. It holds together better)
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 425 degrees.
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Place breadcrumbs in milk in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes.
4. Heat oil in a skillet.
5. Add onion and cook 5 – 6 min. stirring frequently.
6. Add garlic, cook another minute, stirring frequently.
7. In a large bowl, combine onion mixture, turkey, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs. Mix well (Using your hands works best).
8. With damp hands, form turkey mixture into approximately 42 one-inch meatballs. Arrange on a baking sheet.
9. Bake for 13 – 18 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
10. I like to put them in my crockpot with a homemade sauce or a store-bought sauce, like Rao’s Homemade. I found it at Costco. It has 8 recognizable, pronounceable ingredients and no added sugar!

These meatballs freeze well!

ENJOY!!
