ITALIAN TURKEY MEATBALLS - September 9, 2010

August 25, 2010  - ITALIAN TURKEY MEATBALLS IN MARINARA SAUCE

Note: These juicy meatballs are every bit as good made with ground turkey as they are made with ground chuck. You will love them made as sandwiches or in your favorite marinara sauce.

1 pound white ground turkey.

2 cloves garlic, chopped.

¼ cup plain breadcrumbs.

¼ cup Parmesan cheese.

2 tablespoons curly parsley, chopped.

2 eggs

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon fennel seed

1. Mix together the turkey, garlic, breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, eggs, salt and pepper and fennel seeds. Make into meatballs or patties, depending if using as sandwiches or meatballs in Marinara sauce.  Fry in olive oil over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side for sandwiches. If using in marinara, cook partially done, 2 minutes on each side. Makes 6 to 8 meatballs.
