Easy Turkey Meatballs
This recipe is quite simple to make. It all goes together quickly. You can use the meatballs on sandwiches or have them for dinner. I’m giving you a simple recipe for a sauce for these meatballs. These are not Italian meatballs, but if you wanted to put them in with some pasta sauce they would be good like that also (add a little garlic, parsley and grated cheese if you want to add them to a tomato sauce).
This recipe calls for onion soup mix. If you prefer to stay away from the mix, just add some chopped onion, salt and pepper instead. Very simple. If you make the sauce recipe I am including, I suggest you brown the meatballs in a skillet. If you like to have your sauce a little creamer, add a little sour cream at the end. You can also bake the meatballs in a 400 degree oven until they are done and then use them any way you would like.
I’ve made this recipe many times and we’ve always liked it. I’ve served it with the sauce over rice or noodles. I especially enjoy the leftover meatballs for lunch. 🙂
Another good thing about making this recipe, there is a $1.00 off Jenni-O ground turkey coupon!
