The Main Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 15 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 14. Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story--she's a teenager(!)

JR: Age 10  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

    Delicious,Easy AND Healthy: Turkey Meatballs

    « H E Recipes :: LibraryLady :: email
    posted Wed, 08/03/05

    This recipe originally came from a baby/kids cookbook, but I have simplified it a bit and usually substitute turkey for the beef the recipe calls for. While these are great with beef, I don't always have ground beef in the house. But I nearly always have a package of ground turkey on hand for Turkey Meatloaf, so it's just as easy to make these.

    The meatballs are baked instead of fried, and since they are baked on a wire rack some of the fat drips away. As a result they are healthy enough to enjoy with a clear conscience. SC likes hers with pasta and tomato sauce, JR likes hers plain with buttered pasta on the side. The Man (of course) likes his with rice and hot sauce.

    And I love these with a side dish of Mixed Vegetable Salad. Especially when it's made with my own green beans, tomatoes and zucchini, plus fresh local corn. And pesto dressing of course.........

    TURKEY MEATBALLS

    1 package ground turkey  (about 1.3 pounds on average)

    2 oz breadcrumbs  (plain or flavored) or  2 oz oatmeal

    2 oz Parmesan cheese

    1 egg (beaten)

    chopped onion to taste (I use dehydrated onion for this)

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on the sheet.

    Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

    Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop (or your hands) to make small meatballs. This mix holds together well and is easy to work with.

    Place the meatballs on the wire rack. Bake for 10 minutes, flip and bake for 10 minutes more.

    Optional: I like to place the meatballs under the broiler for a few minutes more so that the tops brown and a bit more fat drips below.

    Serve and enjoy!
