Tastebud Rockin' Turkey Meatballs

As stated, I am taking full advantage of the Publix Viva Italia sale and up on tonight's menu: meatballs. Here is the recipe.

Tastebud Rockin' Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients

1/2 pound ground turkey (with the other half I made turkey burgers for dinner tomorrow)
1 medium egg
1/2 cup of seasoned breadcrumbs - OR - 1/2 plain breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon of dried parsely
1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon of milk (optional)
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
3 tablespoons of butter
Jar of your favorite pasta sauce or it can be homemade

Directions

Mix all ingredients, except for butter and pasta sauce, together in a bowl. Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in medium pan. While butter is melting, form meatballs to the size you like. I prefer them to be larger and have less rather than smaller and have more.

 

With the ingredients described, I make about 8 large meatballs. Once butter is melted, add the meatballs and brown on all sides.

Wile that is cooking, place tomato sauce in a sauce pot and simmer.

When meatballs have browned on each side, add to sauce and cook until internal temperature has reached 165 degrees, about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the meatballs.

Serve over pasta. I used whole grain pasta, which I got for free with coupons a little while ago. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and a pinch of dried or fresh parsley.

ENJOY!
