Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds fresh ground turkey |
1 small dice sweet onion |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil leaves |
2 to 3 cloves minced garlic |
sea salt |
freshly ground black pepper |
3 large eggs |
1 3/4 cups bread crumbs |
1 cup heavy cream |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, for dusting the meat balls before browning |
Directions:
1. Mix turkey meat, onion, fresh herbs, garlic, and salt and pepper. Add eggs, bread crumbs, and heavy cream. Roll meatballs to desired size. See Chef's Note 1.
2. Heat a large saute pan. Add oil and butter and cook over medium heat until the butter turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Browning the butter adds great flavor.
3. See Chef's Note 2. Dust meatballs in a little flour and brown. The meatballs should be cooked on a medium-high heat. They can be finished in the oven by roasting or placed in pre-made tomato sauce. Remember this is only for browning the meatballs.
4. Chef's Note 1:
5. We recommend you taste and test as you go by make a small patty before you begin to assemble the meatballs.
6. Chef's Note 2:
7. Rub a little water in the palm of your hands. It makes the job easier.
