Turkey Meatballs
Submitted by: FOODIEFOODGIRL
Introduction
These meatballs are moist and tasty! I cannot claim that they are the "best", but my family and I love them including my 4 & 7 year old boys. I warm them up and eat them alone when I'm in a hurry, or with marinara and a side of salad or steamed veggies. This recipe makes 28 large meatballs so you only have to make them once and they'll store nicely in the fridge for up to 14 days in an airtight container or gallon size bags.

Ingredients
-
I use 3lbs of ground turkey and 1lb of turkey sausage for a change or you can use all 4lbs ground turkey, but the sausage adds a nice flavor.
Place turkey in a large bowl and set aside
In food processor place your large cuts of:
1-2c celery
1 red bell pepper
1 red onion (quartered)
1 granny smith apple (quartered and cored)
4 garlic cloves (peeled whole)
1 can small black olives (I just drain and add the olives whole to the processor)
Process until finely chopped
Add mixture to the turkey then add
3c oats
2 large eggs
1c parmesan
Add your choice of the following spices:
1tbsp all spice
1tbsp cumin
1tbsp granulated garlic
1-2tbsp mushroom powder or mushroom type seasoning
1 tbsp fennel
1tbsp mesquite seasoning
Mix all the ingredients until well blended
form into meatballs the size of your palm (be generous) and place on foil lined baking sheet with a shallow edge, in rows of 4 (should fill a 9x11 baking sheet edge to edge).
Bake at 375 for 30-45 minutes until firm but springy when pressed (use a meat thermometer if you're not sure to be sure it is cooked to the proper internal temp for poultry)
Tips
I do not add salt to this recipe because my mesquite seasoning and mushroom powder have some salt already in them, but if you are using sodium free seasonings you should salt and pepper to taste.
I line my cooking sheet with no stick foil so I don't need to spray but you can use regular just lightly coat with cooking spray (this step also makes for easy cleanup)
Directions
Bake at 375 for 30-45 minutes
