Mini Turkey Balls

More meatballs! These are turkey and a bit leaner, but still just as tasty.

Ingredients:
  • 1lb organic lean ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup organic bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup organic butter
  • 1/4 cup organic mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl add turkey meat and the bread crumbs, onion, garlic, butter, mayo and cheese.
  4. Gently mix everything up with your hands (preferred) or a rubber spatula.
  5. Combine the remaining six ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle over the turkey mixture.
  6. Gently mix until the spices are worked into the meat. Do NOT over mix.
  7. Fry up a small piece of the mixture to taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
  8. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. (optional but works great for easy handling)
  9. Scoop out and shape into meatballs, place on parchment.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes till a thermometer reads 165 or higher in a meatball. Keep an eye on them because turkey can dry out if overcooked. 
  11. The butter will seep down to the parchment, so after they're cooked you can move them to a paper towel to cool, then freeze and bag.
