These meatballs are my grandmother's famous recipe. She makes them all the time at big gatherings and they are a delicious alternative to fattening regular meatballs. I thought I would share this great recipe with you all. I am not sure exactly how many meatballs this makes. It does make quite a lot though. You can certainly scale this recipe down, or freeze the meatballs for later meals. Ingredients:
3 lbs lean ground turkey |
6 eggs (or egg beater equivalent) |
2 -3 teaspoons salt |
1 (6 ounce) bottle romano cheese (generous half a cup) |
3 cups italian breadcrumbs |
3 (24 ounce) bottles tomato sauce |
Directions:
1. Heat tomato sauce in a large pot until it is boiling.
2. Lightly beat the eggs and add to the turkey in a large bowl.
3. Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Combine well, but do not overmix.
4. Gently roll into balls. Make them as big or small as you like.
5. Drop the meatballs into the boiling sauce.
6. Cover the pot and do not disturb for at least 15-20 minutes.
7. Continue to simmer until they are done and to your liking.
8. Enjoy with spaghetti or in a sandwich.
