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.
Ingredients
- 3 slices whole wheat bread shopping list
- 1/4 cup whole milk shopping list
- 1 1/2 lb ground turkey shopping list
- 3 scallions, finely chopped shopping list
- 2 garlic cloves, minced shopping list
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley shopping list
- 1 large egg shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
