I came across this recipe while browsing the web and thought I'd give it a shot. I really REALLY dislike store-bought meatballs. It never fails, I end up burping meatballs for 2 days. They're like the gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving.
Of course, here's the original recipe that I adapted to make me happy!
Ingredients
1 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 ground turkey (I used Jennie O's Italian Seasoned Ground Turkey) or ground beef
1 1/2 cups flour
if making sub sandwiches, you'll also need:
2 jars of your favorite spaghetti sauce
hoagie rolls
mozzarella cheese
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the foil.
In a large bowl, mix all of the meatball ingredients together EXCEPT the meat and flour. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes so the breadcrumbs can soak up the liquid a little bit. Add the meat and mix well with your hands until all the ingredients are combined.
Form golf ball-sized meatballs and dredge them in the flour until lightly coated. Place the meatballs on the baking sheet about one inch apart. Bake for 20 -25 minutes until the meatballs are completely cooked through.
When the meatballs come out of the oven, let them sit for about 15 minutes.
To make the sandwiches, once they come out of the oven, toss them into a pot with the sauce and let the sauce heat up. Then place desired amount of meatballs on sliced bread. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake in oven until cheese is melted.
I suppose you could use these meatballs with a simple spaghetti sauce too, which is what I plan to do with the leftover meatballs.
