- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese (used mostly grated but some that comes with Italian seasons)
- 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- lots of minced fresh garlic (I definitely used a small handful)
- Seasonings to taste (I used liberally): Italian seasonings in grinder (rosemary, salt, pepper, thyme, garlic, etc.), oregano, salt, onion powder, cayenne
- Worcestershire sauce - a couple dashes
- Preferred oil (I used mix of olive oil and avocado oil...just olive oil smokes at temp. needed)
Beat eggs in large mixing bowl. Then stir in garlic, spices and Worcestershire sauce. Add Parmesan cheese and meat, mix everything together. Lastly, mix in breadcrumbs. Lay out some wax paper or similar to put meatballs on. Start making meatballs using a small handful of mixture and rolling between hands until solid and rounded. Mine were approximately 1 1/2" or smaller in diameter. Coat bottom of skillet with oil with a little excess and heat to med-high. This makes a lot of meatballs, so I had to cook them in 3 batches. Move meatballs to heated skillet. Allow that side to brown, and then flip over. Repeat until most sides are at least slightly browned. Remove from skillet and either add to sauce and allow to simmer or something else to cool. You may need to add some extra oil to skillet between batches.
These are great with sauce, and even good by themselves. This recipe could be cut in half, I made enough for multiple meals plus some to share. I impressed myself with these...it must be the garlic! :)
