RAINY DAY MEAT BALLS (9 DOZEN)
This recipe is very close to my HUNGRY MANS TURKEY MEAT BALLS, WITH THE EXCEPTION THIS IS A DOUBLE RECIPE, & I use 5 pounds of good quality Ground Round instead. Some stores has better quality of Ground Round than others. I bought mine @ SAM'S CLUB, in Calumet City, Ill. I tend to get many of my food items there not only for the consistency in great quality but for the value, especially when there is a sale. You do pay more in the beginning but there is no fat or waste, & with this recipe I was able to make 9 dozen average size meat Balls. I used some & froze the remainder 4 later.

Steps:
- I called these Rainy day meat balls, because I not only made enough for the meal that I was making but also enough to use for later, by freezing them in family portion sizes using my Food Saver. I also made them in average size, but you may choose to make them larger, but they will take a bit longer to cook. PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO FAT IN THE PAN AFTER BAKING. Add the ground beef to a large bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients, eggs, Italian Seasoning, minced garlic. I am showing 2 but I used 4 packages.
- Combine the spices in a small bowl then add to bowl.
- Add in the parmesan cheese and Panko Bread crumbs & milk.
- These are the other spices I used.
- Shape as desired into size preferred. This is the size I made for the Hungry Mans Meat Balls. Spray a large shallow pan with non stick cooking spray. Then Place Meat Balls in Preheated 350 degrees F. Oven for 40 to 45 minutes. There was no fat in the pan after baking because I used a good quality Ground Round. Allow to cool, then package as desired. I had enough meat Balls for 3 additional meals for the freezer. Portion bags according to family needs.
APPLE TURKEY MEATBALLS
Meatballs are always popular and this puts a fall twist on them. They're unique because apples and Dijon mustard are added to the ground turkey. After being baked, the meatballs remain nice and moist. Then they're coated with a light balsamic glaze that gives the turkey meatballs an amazing sweet and tangy flavor, These make a...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350. Dice onion and apple.
- 2. Sauté onion in a small amount of oil till semi-transparent.
- 3. In a large bowl, mix the onions and diced apple with the remaining meatball ingredients.
- 4. Form into meatballs using an ice cream scoop with swing lever (makes the perfect size). Place meatballs about 1 inch apart on a large oiled baking pan or cookie sheet.
- 5. Cook in a 350 F oven for 20-30 min, checking often not to overcook as these will go into the skillet with the sauce for about 5-8 more minutes of cooking.
- 6. Combine sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.
- 7. Simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Look out! the vinegar is pungent!
- 8. Place meatballs into large skillet.
- 9. Add sauce.
- 10. Cook over low heat for 5-8 min. Stir only enough to coat the meatballs or they will want to fall apart. Can just skip this step and use it as a dipping sauce... but they are so good like this!
HUNGRY MANS TURKEY MEAT BALLS
I created this recipe for dinner on yesterday. It is what my hubby wanted for the first meal of the New Year. I had gotten the ground turkey at a really great price, & just couldn't resist the bargain. The turkey is 93 percent lean, & only 7 per cent fat, so a healthier alternative. I must admit I was a little leery about only using ground turkey, but I pumped up the flavors by adding Italian Spice seasoning & DRY SALAD Italian Seasoning mix, then the Panko Bread Crumbs & eggs to hold them together, & didn't add any extra liquid, & they turned out perfect w/ a few additional Spices.

Steps:
- I called these HUNGRY MANS MEAT BALLS, OR THEY COULD HAVE BEEN CALLED MAN PLEASING MEAT BALLS because of the size. I made them the size of golf balls to please my MEAT LOVING HUSBAND. But you can make them smaller if you like. I could only eat one with the quick sauce and pasta that I made to go with it. Of course I had to have garlic bread too. Some of the ingredients used in the recipe.
- Add the ground turkey to a large bowl.
- Combine all of the spices together in a small bowl. Then add them to the ground turkey, or add each one individually if desired.
- Add both of the dry Italian seasoning packets.
- Then add the Panko, grated cheese blend, & both eggs & minced garlic.
- Stir to mix together, but not too much.
- Just until mixture holds together. Spray a long pan with cooking spray or use aluminum foil and spray, then shape meat Balls into desired size. I got 24 units from my mixture, shaping about the size of golf balls.
- Place in Preheated 350 degrees F. oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. I baked for 40 minutes. Temperature should be around 180 degrees F. I then made a pasta sauce and added the meat balls to the sauce.
- You can serve them plain if desired, with the sauce, or as desired. I am sure You will enjoy this TURKEY ONLY healthier version of meat Balls.
