Meatballs



When it comes to feeding a crowd you can’t go wrong with meatballs. These tasty finger foods are always a hit at parties and other social events. I chose ground turkey instead of beef because of its low fat content. This recipe is quite simple, but the taste is outstanding.

Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs Ground Turkey
  • 2 cups (Italian) Breadcrumbs
  • 2 Eggs
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder


Directions:
  1. Season ground turkey with salt, black pepper, garlic and onion powders.
  2. Add breadcrumbs and eggs and blend well. Don’t overmix or you could end up with ‘turkey dip’
  3. Scoop and shape ground turkey into meatballs (use a regular kitchen teaspoon for scooping).
  4. Arrange meatballs on greased cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degrees preheated oven for 30 – 40 minutes or until well browned. 
  5. Coat with sauce and serve.


(Makes 35 – 40 meatballs)

Sauce:
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard                   
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds then coat meatballs.
