Makes about 12-14
Cook time about 25 minutes
Prep time 5 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb of ground turkey
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 cup of Italian Bread Crumbs
1 tsp of minced garlic
1 - 2 tbsp of salt (or to taste)
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp basil
2 tsp oregano
1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, mix the ground turkey with the bread crumbs, garlic, salt, pepper, basil and oregano.
2. Once all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add the beaten egg to the mixture and mix again thoroughly.
3. In a large frying pan, add the olive oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan and turn to low to medium heat.
4. Scoop out the balls with a spoon or make them by hand to the desired size, (I usually make about 12-14 1 inch balls) and place them into the frying pan.
5. Turn the meatballs every 3-5 minutes or so, to ensure that they are evenly browned and cooked.
Once they are ready, Enjoy! It's a healthy and tasty alternative to the traditional red meat meatball!
I usually pair this with pasta or yellow rice and it is delicious!
