Ingredients
1 lb. Ground Turkey1/2 C of Part Skim Ricotta Cheese ( I substituted with low fat Ricotta)1/2 C Dry Bread Crumbs1/4 C Chopped Fresh Basil ( I Used Dry. )1/4 tsp pepper1/4 tsp salt
Preheat Oven to 375 degrees. Combine 1 lb. ground turkey with the other ingredients in a bowl, then shape mixture into about 18 meatballs. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add meatballs, and brown on all sides. Remove from skillet; transfer to broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and bake for 15 min, or until done.
To freeze: Follow cooking directions, then allow meatballs to cool to room temperature. Place on baking sheet, making sure they do not touch one another, and place in freezer for one hour. Next, transfer hardened meatballs to an air-tight container, and store in the freezer. Thaw meatballs in refrigerator, then bake at 375 degrees for 20 min. or until heated.
