Herbed Turkey Meatballs<\/center><\/p><\/div>\n

I like to\u00a0use lean ground turkey instead of beef or pork to keep it low fat. I buy the Jennie-O italian seasoned one because it’s more highly spiced. I like my meatballs to be 1\/3 bread crumb mixture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup of onion chopped fine
\n1\/4 cup\u00a0of fresh chopped chives
\n1\/2 cup\u00a0of fresh chopped basil
\n1\/2 cup\u00a0of fresh chopped parsley
\n<\/span>2 eggs or 1\/2 cup of Egg Beaters<\/span>
\n1\/2 cup\u00a0of panko bread crumbs
\n1\/2 cup\u00a0of regular bread crumbs
\n1 tsp sea salt
\n1 tsp coarse ground black pepper \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1 tsp garlic powder
\n1 tsp\u00a0 crushed fresh fennel seeds
\n<\/span>1\/2 tsp ground cinnamon<\/span>
\n 1\/2 tsp smoked paprika<\/span>
\n 1\/2 tsp cumin powder<\/span>
\n 1\/2 tsp Liquid Smoke
\n<\/span>Shake of cayenne pepper<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup of mayo<\/span>
\n1 tbsp dijon mustard<\/span><\/p>\n

You’re going for an oatmeal texture before you add in the 1 lb of lean ground turkey.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Have two trays ready with parchment paper on them. \u00a0I make small meatballs, like the size of a ping pong ball. If you make yours bigger, cook them longer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Form the meatballs in your hand, using a generous tablespoon of the mixture for each. Roll meatballs in additional bread crumbs to coat. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Either preheat the oven to 425 or add 2 tbs olive oil to a pan at medium heat. \u00a0Place on cookie sheets and into the oven for 20 minutes, or in the saute pan, side by side. \u00a0In the pan, brown several minutes on one side, then turn over, cover pan and lower the heat. \u00a0Cook until cooked though, 5-10 more minutes. \u00a0They look kinda gnarly with the herbs\u00a0all sticking out but they are really good.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve also stuck a piece of feta or bleu cheese in the middle, which is really good.<\/p>\n
