Healthy Turkey Meatballs Recipes

JUICY TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together all the ingredients except for the oil.
• Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop, the same one you would use for cookies, scoop out even portions of the mixture into a plate. I usually end up with 16 meatballs.
• With wet hands for easier handling, shape each portion into a round meatball.
• Heat the olive oil in a very large (12-inch) lidded skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and becomes fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the meatballs in a single layer and cook them uncovered, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the skillet. Cover with the lid and cook until the meatballs are cooked through (their internal temperature should be 165° F), about 3 more minutes.
• Remove the meatballs from the skillet to a serving plate using a slotted spoon. Serve immediately.

TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 large baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Or I love using silicone baking mats, no oil necessary. In a large bowl, add ground turkey, zucchini, eggs, garlic, onion flakes, oregano, salt and pepper; mix well with your hands.
• Using small cookie scoop form 47 meatballs (it helps to dip hands in a bowl with cold water occasionally) and lay on baking sheets.
• Bake for 15 minutes, turn and toss with spatula (mostly to get rid off of that ground turkey residue) and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve hot.
• Serve hot as an appetizer or main dish.

HEALTHY TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan with a lid, then tip in the onion, carrots, celery, garlic and fennel, and stir well. Cover the pan and cook over a medium heat for 8 mins, stirring every now and then. Pour in the passata and stock, cover and leave to simmer for 20 mins.
• Meanwhile, tip the mince into a large bowl. Add the oats, fennel seeds and leaves, the garlic and plenty of black pepper, and mix in with your hands. Lightly shape into 25 meatballs about the size of a walnut. Spray or rub a non-stick pan with a little oil and gently cook the meatballs until they take on a little colour. Give the sauce a stir, then add the meatballs and parsley. Cover and cook for 10 mins until they are cooked through and the veg in the sauce is tender. Serve with broccoli and baby potatoes in their skins, or pasta and salad.
