Chelle's Famous Turkey Meatballs Recipe - Food.com image

I make these all the time-and my family complains I don't make them enough! I usually make a big batch (3 lbs of turkey breast) so that I can make a couple of meals out of them- Swedish Meatballs, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Meatballs with Baked Ziti and Marinara, Meatball sandwiches, or just put your favorite sauce on them in a crockpot for a potluck!! Yummy!! Adjust sizes according to the serving size you need, but they freeze well, so it is a great thing to make a big batch and save yourself extra work later!

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs ground turkey breast
3 eggs
1 cup fine breadcrumbs (Old London or Progresso are best,seasoned)
1/2 cup asiago 3-cheese blend, shredded (Asagio,Parm,Romano blend)
garlic powder, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
onion powder, to taste
cajun-louisiana seasoning blend, to taste (Luzianne Cajun Seasoning)
3 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey and eggs until thoroughly mixed.
  • Add seasonings to suit your taste. I tend to be fairly heavy handed,especially with garlic and black pepper. ;) Mix completely.
  • Add cheese and bread crumbs. *If mixture is still too moist, feel free to add more bread crumbs until desired consistency is achieved.
  • Roll into large, walnut sized balls and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, warm 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat.
  • Cook meatballs until golden brown, turning so that each side is browned. (Hint- a screen is helpful since the oil may pop and splatter like bacon).
  • Serving tip: My family likes these plain, with Contadina sweet and sour sauce (doctored up) on brown rice, in a marinara over your favorite pasta, slice in half on French rolls with marinara and cheese for a great meatball sandwich, in Swedish meatballs, in a BBQ sauce or anything for a party, you name it! They do freeze well too. Enjoy! ;).
