CHELLE'S FAMOUS TURKEY MEATBALLS

Ingredients:

• 3 lb ground turkey breast
• 3 eggs
• 1 c fine breadcrumb (old london or progresso are best,seasoned)
• 1/2 c asiago 3-cheese blend, shredded (asagio,parm,romano blend)
• garlic powder, to taste
• onion powder, to taste
• ground black pepper, to taste
• cajun-louisiana seasoning blend, to taste (like luzianne cajun seasoning or tony chachere's )
• 3 Tbsp canola oil, (optional) for pan cooking

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey and eggs until thoroughly mixed.
• 2. Add seasonings to suit your taste. I tend to be fairly heavy handed,especially with garlic and black pepper. ;) Mix completely.
• 3. Add cheese and bread crumbs. *If mixture is still too moist, feel free to add more bread crumbs until desired consistency is achieved.
• 4. Roll into large, walnut sized balls and set aside.
• 5. To fry: In a large skillet, warm 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Cook meatballs until golden brown, turning so that each side is browned. (Hint- a screen is helpful since the oil may pop and splatter like bacon).
• 6. To bake: Place meatballs on a foiled or lightly sprayed pan and bake in oven at 360 degrees for 30-35 min (oven times may vary).
• 7. Serving tip: My family likes these plain, with Contadina sweet and sour sauce (doctored up) on brown rice, in a marinara over your favorite pasta, slice in half on French rolls with marinara and cheese for a great meatball sandwich, in Swedish meatballs, in a BBQ sauce or anything for a party, you name it! They do freeze well too. Enjoy! ;).
