Balls

Dear Hannah,

I have an excellent meatball recipe! It calls for 1 kind of meat: ground turkey! Hubby likes it if that tells you anything...

3 slices of bread
1/4 c whole milk
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey (the dark meat kind has more flavor and fat)
3 scallions, finely chopped
2 small garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
S&P

Place bread in food processor; pulse until fine crumbs form
In a large bowl, combine turkey, scallions, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper
Beat egg and add
Sprinkle bread crumbs over entire mixture, then blend with a fork
Add milk (do NOT add before this point - lesson learned the hard way)
With hands (wet hands work best), form mixture into balls - all sizes work great, just adjust cooking time
Freeze on a cookie sheet & keep up to 3 month or cook right away in a little olive oil
For small - medium sized balls cook 5-7 min.

The recipe comes from Everyday Food Magazine Jan/Feb '08.

Hope you like!

love,
Ellen
