Turkey Meat Balls

This is my first attempt at making Turkey Meat Balls. It's very simple and basic but it turned out really well. I just thought of what i wanted to put in it as i mixed and cooked everything. That's why sorry for not having exact measrements & quantities!

Good for PV days
Makes 8 Medium Size Turkey Meat Balls

For the Turkey Meat Balls:
  • 1 1/4  Lbs Minced Turkey
  • 1/2 onion (chopped).
  • 1 whole egg
  • Italian Seasoning (to taste) - i used around 2 Tbsp
  • Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Preheat oven to 375 F . I mixed everything very well and then shaped them into medium size balls. Placed them on a baking sheet that i sprayed with olive oil. In the oven they go for about 20 minutes on bake. Then for about 5 minutes on Broil to give them some color.  (Time depends on the oven, so keep checking them).

For the Sauce: i used one can of stewed tomatoes. Put them in a pot, on high until they're boiling then reduce it to low and let it simmer for a few minutes (until it reduces). I then put them in the food processor to make a smoother texture and back in the pot for a 2 more minutes simmering on low.  Add some salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.

When everything is ready, top the turkey meat balls with some sauce and you can add some grated non fat mozzarella cheese!

Here's a picture of how everything turned out



Bon Appetite!
