Meatball madness has been taking the country over. Here in the 'Burgh a new meatball joint finally opened up downtown and everything (it exceeded my months of expectations, btw). While on Pinterest I ran across a recipe for Parmesan meatballs that caught my fancy. This is my spin on the Meatballa alla Parmigiana from I Breathe I'm Hungry
Ingredients
9 oz ground turkey
Parsley to taste, chopped
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup warm water
Pepper to taste
1 cup spaghetti sauce
3-4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
Methods
Combine the turkey, Parmesan, breadcrunbs, egg, and seasonings and form into balls (I made 13).
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 20 min at 350F. Next cover each meatball with about a tbl of Sunday gravy and too with a small slice of fresh mozzarella. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 until warm and melty and delicious!
These turkey out awesome. We had them over pasta and I also enjoyed some asparagus. 4-5 meatballs made for an adequate size serving. They were super moist, as promised on I Breathe I'm Hungry. I used fresh mozzarella and that really showed taste-wise. These are definitely in the potential to repeat category, although it is pretty rare that happens ;). There are a lot more meatballs on my Pinterest that need to go through the rotation first.
