Turkey Meatballs

My first attempt at making meatballs was a total disaster.  As soon as I put them in the pan, they all fell apart and I felt completely defeated.  This time around, I used a Joy of Cooking recipe (using ground turkey rather than ground beef), and they were delicious.  I left out tomato paste because I didn't have any.

(adapted from Joy of Cooking)

1 pound ground turkey

1 garlic clove, mixed

1/2 cup chopped parsley

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs

1 large egg, beaten

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp dried oregano or Italian herb blend

2 tbsp olive oill

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1 cup Marinara sauce

Preheat the oven to 375

Mix all ingredients well, except oil, flour and Marinara.

Form into 2" balls, and dredge in flour.

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan.

Brown the meatballs, turning while cooking.

Place in a baking dish and cook in the oven for about 10 minutes.

Warm the marinara in a sauce pan, and add to the cooked meatballs, stirring gently, to serve.
