Another favorite from my mom. I don't know where she got the recipe. I always forget how much spice the TWO full tablespoons of pepper adds to the meatballs, and sometimes I can't believe it really calls for that much...but just do it. Grind those two tablespoons of fresh black pepper. And put it all in the mix. —gabsimonelouise
Ingredients
-
2 pounds
ground turkey
-
2 1/4 cups
breadcrumbs from stale bread
-
2
eggs, lightly beaten
-
1/4 cup
milk
-
2 tablespoons
freshly ground black pepper
-
2 teaspoons
salt
-
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh rosemary
-
2
garlic cloves, minced
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375. Take out a 9 x 13 baking pan. Get all your ingredients ready!
-
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients with your hands until everything looks evenly distributed in the turkey.
-
Shape mixture into meatballs about 2" in diameter and place on 9 x 13 pan. You should get about 18 meatballs.
-
Bake for 20-30 minutes. Check the meatballs often so they don't get too dry. Higher fat turkey takes longer to cook. I usually take kitchen shears, clip open a meatball about halfway down, and check if it is still pink.
-
Once done, cool for 10 minutes and enjoy on a meatball sandwich or however you like to eat your meatballs. These also keep frozen for several months, or in the fridge for a week.
