Turkey Meatballs - My own creation!

On the quest to becoming a vegetarian, I'm learning and experiementing with new ingredients. Today was with ground turkey (I'm only in stage 1, to cut out red meat). I hope you enjoy.

Ingredients:
1.25 lbs ground turkey meat (7% fat)
1 egg
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tsp basil
1 1/2 tsp oregano
1 tbls olive oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat bottom of baking dish with oil. Combine the first eight (8) ingredients. Form into 1 1/2 inch balls and place side by side into baking dish.

Sprinkle tops of meatballs with the basil and oregano. Cover and bake for 40 minutes. Immediately take meatballs out of baking dish to cool. Makes about 20-25 meatballs.

I made these yesterday for tonights dinner. I will let you know how the kids and I like them.

Little girl was a little shy about eating these new meatball things but our little boy loved them. He even asked for more. That's amazing.

Mommy done good!!
