MOIST TURKEY MEATBALLS



Moist Turkey Meatballs image

This is an adaptation of Kittencal's recipe#69173. I wanted to be able to enjoy meatballs without the fat and had not, until now, found a good recipe for turkey meatballs. I made her delicious ones for the kids and hubby, but changed it up with turkey and extras for me(and my waistline). They are not dry and the flavor is slightly sweet from the basil. I usually have these with homemade pasta sauce and ww pasta.

MOIST TURKEY MEATBALLS

Adapted from Cooking Light's "Savory Meatballs" September 09. We don't use Ricotta (original calls for 1/2 cup part-skim), so I subbed cottage cheese and added some Parmesan. I also subbed dried Italian herbs for fresh basil (original calls for 1/4 cup, chopped). They came out far better than expected. I was amazed at the flavor from a turkey meatball. Pam Anderson's "Perfect Meatball" is my standard for dinner, but I'll use these for lunchtime as sandwiches or with pasta.
