meatball sandwich

Kind of a weird bun for a meatball sandwich, but it's what we had in the house, so we went with it.

 

 

Turkey Meatball Recipe:

 

(If you never used turkey for meatballs before, I say go for it. The first time I ever made meatballs, I used turkey --it was also the first time I cooked with ground turkey -- and it was so delicious, I think I've only made them with ground beef one time. & still, every time I make them, after Jonathan takes a bite, he asks me if it's turkey or beef. The point is, after you add all the tastienss, you can't really tell.)

 

Makes ~ 12 meatballs, depending on size

 

Ingredients:

 

1 lb ground turkey

 

2/3 cup Italian bread crumbs

 

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

 

1 egg

 

3 cloves of garlic, minced

 

1 1/2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning (if you don't have it, just throw in some basil and oregeno)

 

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

 

1) mash all the ingredients together with your hands. (Gross, right? Just do it.) until all ingreidents are combined & sticking together. If it's too moist, add a bit more bread crumbs & cheese

 

2) Use an ice cream scooper to scoop uniform balls of the mixture. Roll into balls with your hands, place in greased baking sheet/pan

 

3) Cover with foil and bake at 375 for about 40 minutes. Remove foil for the last 10 minutes.
