DUE TO THE COMMENT ON THE RATING SECTION, I THOUGHT IT BEST THAT I POINT OUT THAT THE GROUND BEEF IS LEAN GROUND BEEF, OR GROUND TURKEY CAN BE USED IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FAT CONTENT. I ALSO THINK THERE MAY BE AN ERROR IN THE COMPUTATION OF THE NUTRITIONAL DATA. i usually feed my toddler strictly fish and veggies but wanted to add a bit of meat to her diet for once and a while. small meatballs with just enough sweet taste for a toddler and just the right size for those that are too independent to be fed and get frustrated with forks and spoons. you can also add a dipping sauce on the side. i use all organic ingredients for these and i never really measure so use your best judgement; i am just a beginner cook and i am sure you can improve these vastly!!!!! i also froze them and they were just as good when i cooked them up.
Ingredients:
3 lbs lean organic ground beef or 3 lbs turkey
1/4 cup brown sugar or 1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 eggs
2 cups breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon garlic powder
olive oil, for bottom of pan
Directions:
1. mix all ingredients together, using as much egg and breadcrumbs as you need to get the consistency you want; just as long as they hold together nicely.
2. roll into quarter size balls and place casserole dish or aluminum roasting pan that has olive oil on the bottom to prevent the meat balls from sticking.
3. bake 350 for thirty minutes.
4. my daughter loves these plain; but you can make a sweet and sour sauce to go with them for dipping.
