Light Turkey Meatballs Recipe

	Qwikdraw9 / All my dishes 8 months, 3 weeks ago A lighter version of meatballs that is just as tasty as the traditional version. I like this recipe because you can make the meatballs ahead of time, freeze, and then just saute them right from frozen when you're ready to eat them. Prep:20m Cook:20m Servings:7	Qwikdraw9

Ingredients

3 slices whole wheat bread

1/4 cup whole milk

1 1/2 lb ground turkey

3 scallions, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley

1 large egg

salt and pepper

Directions

Place bread in food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with milk; set aside 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine turkey, scallions, garlic, parsley, egg, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and breadcrumb mixture; mix gently with a fork.

With hands, form mixture into balls, each equal to 2 level tablespoons (should make 35).

Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze in freezer for 1 hour to set their shape.

Transfer frozen meatballs to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.

To cook: heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Cook 20 frozen meatballs until browned - 5 to 7 minutes.

Add 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce and 1/2 cup water and cook until heated through - about 5 minutes.

You're so funny! It's not new from whole foods...I just go to the bread section and buy dirty bread aka whoe bread. Ha, maybe not appropriate for here:)
I think I gave you some of these last fall - you were going to see if you wanted to use them for Nanny's birthday? Maybe?
