Steps:

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.
Tips for Making the Best Turkey Meatballs in the Oven:
- Choose high-quality ground turkey. Look for ground turkey that is fresh and has a lean-to-fat ratio of 93/7 or 90/10. This will ensure that your meatballs are moist and flavorful.
- Season the meatballs well. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to flavor the meatballs. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Use panko breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs help to absorb moisture and keep the meatballs light and fluffy. You can also use regular breadcrumbs, but panko breadcrumbs will give you the best results.
- Don't overmix the meatballs. Overmixing the meatballs will make them tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the meatballs at a high temperature. This will help to brown the meatballs and seal in the juices. Bake the meatballs at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the meatballs hot. Turkey meatballs are best served hot out of the oven. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, tzatziki sauce, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Turkey meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are perfect for appetizers, main courses, or snacks. When made with high-quality ingredients and cooked properly, turkey meatballs are moist, flavorful, and healthy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give these turkey meatballs a try. You won't be disappointed!
