Hungry Mans Turkey Meat Balls Recipes

HUNGRY MANS TURKEY MEAT BALLS

Steps:

• I called these HUNGRY MANS MEAT BALLS, OR THEY COULD HAVE BEEN CALLED MAN PLEASING MEAT BALLS because of the size. I made them the size of golf balls to please my MEAT LOVING HUSBAND. But you can make them smaller if you like. I could only eat one with the quick sauce and pasta that I made to go with it. Of course I had to have garlic bread too. Some of the ingredients used in the recipe.
• Add the ground turkey to a large bowl.
• Combine all of the spices together in a small bowl. Then add them to the ground turkey, or add each one individually if desired.
• Add both of the dry Italian seasoning packets.
• Then add the Panko, grated cheese blend, & both eggs & minced garlic.
• Stir to mix together, but not too much.
• Just until mixture holds together. Spray a long pan with cooking spray or use aluminum foil and spray, then shape meat Balls into desired size. I got 24 units from my mixture, shaping about the size of golf balls.
• Place in Preheated 350 degrees F. oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. I baked for 40 minutes. Temperature should be around 180 degrees F. I then made a pasta sauce and added the meat balls to the sauce.
• You can serve them plain if desired, with the sauce, or as desired. I am sure You will enjoy this TURKEY ONLY healthier version of meat Balls.

TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. In a bowl mix together; green onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. With a fork stir in ground turkey or chicken and season to taste with salt and pepper. (You can crumble some in a skillet, cook, taste, and then adjust seasoning). Shape mixture into small meatballs. In a large skillet heat olive oil. Add meatballs in a single layer and let them cook for 2 to 3 minutes a side, without disturbing. If they stick, loosen with a slotted spoon. Stir in tomato sauce into the skillet, cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes (while spaghetti is cooking) to reheat sauce and cook meatballs through. Drain pasta and then return to the pot and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Dish out a portion of pasta on each plate and spoon some meatballs and sauce in center.

RAINY DAY MEAT BALLS (9 DOZEN)

Steps:

• I called these Rainy day meat balls, because I not only made enough for the meal that I was making but also enough to use for later, by freezing them in family portion sizes using my Food Saver. I also made them in average size, but you may choose to make them larger, but they will take a bit longer to cook. PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO FAT IN THE PAN AFTER BAKING. Add the ground beef to a large bowl.
• Add the remaining ingredients, eggs, Italian Seasoning, minced garlic. I am showing 2 but I used 4 packages.
• Combine the spices in a small bowl then add to bowl.
• Add in the parmesan cheese and Panko Bread crumbs & milk.
• These are the other spices I used.
• Shape as desired into size preferred. This is the size I made for the Hungry Mans Meat Balls. Spray a large shallow pan with non stick cooking spray. Then Place Meat Balls in Preheated 350 degrees F. Oven for 40 to 45 minutes. There was no fat in the pan after baking because I used a good quality Ground Round. Allow to cool, then package as desired. I had enough meat Balls for 3 additional meals for the freezer. Portion bags according to family needs.
