Turkey Meatballs

1 ½ pounds or 1 package of ground turkey
1 tsp Basil
S&P to taste
½ cup minced onion (or half a fresh onion, chopped)
½ cup parsley
1 egg white
1 tsp garlic powder
¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
oil
jar Tomato Sauce of your choice (we use Ragu Light or Healthy Choice)


Mix ground turkey, bread crumbs, basil, S&P, onion, parsley, egg white & garlic powder in a bowl. You may want to use your hands to make sure everything is blended well.

Heat your skillet, med/lo.

Form meatballs and sit aside. I usually use about a tablespoon full of the mixture for each meatball. You can make them as big or as small as you’d like.

Pour a splash of oil into your pan. Just enough to coat the bottom.

Lay your meatballs into the pan and turn the heat up to medium.

Cover the skillet and let them cook for a few minutes . . . when the meatballs are no
longer pink on top, turn them over. I use a spatula & tongs, so they’ll be brown on both sides. This should only take about 10 minutes.

When they’re done, pour in as much of the sauce as you’d like. Stir the meatballs until they’re coated and cover until the sauce is bubbly.

Serve with WHOLE WHEAT pasta, Brown Rice, or a vegetable.

Enjoy!!!
