Italian Turkey/Lean Beef Meatballs
- Minutes to Prepare:
- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 70
Ingredients
1lb extra lean ground turkey1lb extra lean ground beef (or you could just use 2lbs of extra lean ground turkey instead)3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs1 cup hot water1/2 cup grated parmesan2 eggs4 tbsp fresh parsley (2 tbsp dried is fine)1 1/2 tbsp minced garlicsalt and pepper
Mix all ingredients except water. Slowly add splashes of hot water until the meat is sticky. If it doesn't feel sticky, keep adding more of the water (*shouldn't take more than 3/4 cup for this if you are using hot water as you should).
Make into 1-1 1/2" balls and place on sprayed baking sheets (*if you don't use regular ground beef instead of the extra lean turkey/beef, it is likely that grease will seep out and possible run over into your oven so I would use a dish with sides). The ball sizes won't expand very much at all so feel free to leave little space between them on the sheet.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes on 350 degrees.
Number of Servings: 70
