Turkey Meatballs
a east delicious meatball
Ingredients
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup onion grated
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- ¼ cup chives chopped
- 1½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1½ pounds ground turkey
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs, onion, chives, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and mix well. Add turkey and egg and blend with your hands until well mixed. Make a small test patty to test for flavor and adjust for your liking. While you are cooking your patty cover mixture and chill. These are easiest to form into balls while very cold. Form into 28 meatballs, each about 1¼-inches in diameter
- I place my meatballs on a sheet pan and place them in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. You could fry them in a saute pan with a little olive oil. You could place them in a pot of marinara sauce, just set them in the sauce and don't move them for the first 10 minutes or so, you want them to keep their form.
- They freeze well, I generally place them on a clean sheet pan and freeze them individually so I can grab a few at a time for whatever I need them for.
Meatball Grinders
- I place 3 or 4 meatballs and sauce on a grinder roll, cover with a couple of pieces of provolone and place in the oven for about 10-15 minutes.
