Turkey Meatballz

Contributed by: Theresa House
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 large egg
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
2 pounds ground turkey
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups chicken broth
4 garlic cloves chopped

Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup bread crumbs, the onion, egg, parsley, parmesan, chopped garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Add the turkey and mix until combined.
Place the remaining bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
Roll the meat mixture into eighteen 1½-inch balls, then roll in the bread crumb mixture to coat. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low; add 1/2 cup chicken broth and cook until the liquid is absorbed.
Add the remaining chicken broth in 1/4-cup increments until the meatballs are cooked through and all the broth has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Serve with your favorite store-bought spaghetti sauce.

Notes: Try chopping parsley, onion, and garlic in a food processor for a "smoother" meatball. These are a lot of fun to make, and the recipe makes a lot of food!
