Original 10/1/14.
FYI: From my kitchen to yours a healthy suggestion.
You can easily make these meatballs smaller and place them in a crockpot along with marinara sauce and you'll have a healthy and tasty appetizer for parties.
A healthy option...turkey instead of beef
I've made turkey meatballs years ago but got away from making them because I thought they weren't tender enough to my liking but when hubby said "I wouldn't be opposed to trying some turkey meatballs" I figured I'd give them another try.
Using my basic meatball recipe but added a little more seasoning (as in dried Italian seasoning) and added some chicken broth to assure moistness and to hold them together.
They are cooking now so we'll test them out later with our grandson who also likes to bake and cook and is spending some quality time with us. I'm hoping for a A+. We haven't decided if we'll have meatball sandwiches on crusty rolls with some mozzarella or pasta of some variety. All I know is hubby better like them!! Look for results at the end of the blog!
Happy Baking and Cooking from my kitchen to yours!
