Tonight my palate was wanting spaghetti w/ meatballs. So I decided to make my own since every time I have ever bought them (VERY RARE) I have thought they tasted too fatty and basically melt in my mouth (which in my opinion meat SHOULD NOT do that). So Brynn and I were at Trader Joe's and I decided to buy ground turkey. When we got home, I took out my handy dandy recipe finder aka google and searched for baked turkey meatballs and this is the easy recipe I found.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground turkey

1 egg lightly beaten

1/4 cup bread crumbs

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp basil

1 1/2 tsp. parsley

1 tsp. garlic powder

cooking spray

foil

Directions:

1.) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2.) Combine all ingredients in bowl (besides cooking spray & foil) :) Mix well.

3.) Line baking sheet with foil and spray w/ cooking spray

4.) Shape and roll meatballs into about 1 1/2" balls and bake 20-25 minutes or until down in the middle.

Katy's Alterations:

Of Course I NEVER have everything a recipe calls for because I never look at the recipe before deciding to go to the store to make it. So I didn't have all the individual spices so I used an italian seasoning mix instead. I also didn't having garlic powder, but had garlic salt so I used that instead of the garlic powder and reg. salt.

I would def. make these again. It is kinda gross seeing the fat that comes out of them when they cook...however, I guess it's better that way :)

Here they are all ready to go in the oven...the BEST part was the recommendation to cover the pan w/ foil. This made for SUCH easy clean up :)

One little meatball :)

Here they are after about 25 minutes in the oven...see what I mean about a little gross...they tasty delicious though!

Plated w/ the rest of dinner...
