1 1/2 pound ground turkey (Shadybrook or Shoprite brand)
1 large egg
1 cup panko bread crumbs (Progresso Italian Style)
3/4 cup milk
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
olive oil for frying
home made pasta sauce (check my recipe for sauce)
Combine egg, bread crumbs, milk, grated cheese, parsley and pepper together then add to ground turkey (This mixture should be on the wet side). Form mixture into golf ball size balls. Heat large skillet over medium/low heat, add oil wait till oil starts to glissen in pan then add enough turkey balls so not to overcrowd pan. Fry until browned on one side then flip. When Turkey balls are browned add to pot of simmering sauce. I like to cook in sauce for at least 1-2 hours. Remove, cool and freeze in gallon size freezer bags. Enjoy!
*These meat balls come out really moist as long as you transfer them right into sauce after browning. You can make this recipe with ground meat if you prefer but I have found as long as you use the Shadybrook ground turkey and Italian Style Panko breadcrumbs no one will be able to tell the difference between these and real meatballs. They are great to pull out of freezer heat in sauce and make quick sub sandwiches or sometimes I will chop up a few when I am making pizza and use them as a great topping. Enjoy!
