recipe: turkey meatballs




meatballs were probably the first "real" meal i knew how to cook - and it remains one of our staples now that i'm [technically but not really] grown up. nick and i had turkey meatballs for dinner last night and i'm looking forward to the leftovers tonight.

what you'll need:
1 lb ground turkey
1 clove garlic
1/2 medium onion
1 egg
1-2 cups breadcrumbs
dash of oregano
salt and pepper

mince or dice the garlic and onion. stir together with remaining ingredients and form 1-inch balls using hands. i like to bake mine on a cooling rack tucked into a cookie sheet so they bake evenly. bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees. when they're done, place into a pot of sauce (i use classico four cheese) and put on your pot of water at the same time. let the balls-o-meat simmer in the sauce while your noodles cook. dunzo!

ps - i was so hungry that i forgot to take a plated shot. oops.
