COPYCAT OLIVE GARDEN MEATBALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 360 degrees F and grease a roasting tray.
• In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together. Mix until well combined. You may need to add more breadcrumbs as needed. Fry a sample to taste, and adjust salt and pepper as necessary.
• Cover and transfer to a chilled area to marinate for an hour.
• When ready, shape your mixture into meatballs using your preferred method.
• Arrange neatly onto your greased roasting pan.
• Transfer to the oven, and roast until meatballs are cooked through, roughly 35 minutes. Drain any excess oil as necessary.
• When ready, ladle your warm marinara sauce on top of the meatballs. Garnish with parsley and parmesan cheese. Serve.

THE BEST TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle the olive oil and canola oil in an even layer over the paper.
• Pour the breadcrumbs into a large mixing bowl, pour the milk over top and stir to fully moisten the breadcrumbs. Add the remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix with your hands just until combined.
• Scoop 1/4-cupfuls of meatball mixture and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet; you should have 12 meatballs. Gently roll them into balls. Bake until bottoms are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and continue to bake for 15 to 20 minutes more until the meatballs are cooked through.

SHEET PAN TURKEY CAPRESE MEATBALLS WITH ROSEMARY SMASHED POTATOE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, grease with cooking spray, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the turkey, egg, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, pepper flakes, bread crumbs, parmesan and parsley until evenly incorporated. Form into balls about the size of a golf ball and place on one side of the baking sheet.
• Scatter the tomatoes around the meatballs.
• Place the potatoes, in a single layer, on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle everything with olive oil and season the potatoes with the remaining salt and pepper.
• Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft enough to smash. Give them a gently push down with a potato masher. Then drizzle with a bit more olive oil and sprinkle with chopped rosemary. Return to oven for another 10 minutes.
• Remove once more and top the meatballs and tomatoes with the cheese. Place under the broiler until melted through, about a minute. Top with basil and serve.

TURKEY MEATBALLS IN OLIVE & COURGETTE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the first 4 ingredients together in a bowl and season generously. Roll into 12 meatballs.
• Heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Pop in the meatballs and brown all over. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the rest of the oil and tip in the courgettes and garlic. Cook for 3 mins to soften. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, plus half a carton of water and the meatballs. Simmer for a further 15-20 mins, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has really thickened.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions. Drain and mix with a few tbsp of the tomato sauce to coat. Top with the meatballs and remaining sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
