Parmesan and Sun Dried Tomato Turkey Meatballs


I've had this photo/recipe sitting in my drafts for quite a while! I made them last week with calzones, and they were delicious. It's so important to use big flavor and moisture when cooking with ground turkey breast because not only is it a blank canvas, but it can get very dry.
These would be great over pasta, on a sandwich, or turned into a burger!


Parmesan and Sun Dried Tomato Turkey Meatballs

1/2 lb. 99% fat free ground turkey breast
1/2 yellow onion, grated
1 garlic clove, grated
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp. Worchestershire sauce
1 tbsp. tomato paste
10 sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 c. shredded parmesan cheese
about 1/3 c. bread crumbs
1 tsp. dried or 1 tbsp. fresh minced Italian herbs
Salt and pepper
Crushed red pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, gently toss all ingredients together with the tips of your fingers.
Divide mixture into fourths, roll 2 balls from each fourth and place on a greasted, foil lined baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.

OMGosh. Seriously yummy. Make these tonight; you won't be sorry. I made a nearly-triple batch to freeze to have on hand to throw together quick weeknight spaghetti dinners. I had to quick put them in the freezer before I ate them all.
