Turkey Meatballs

Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 c bread crumbs
• 1/3 c grated cheese
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1 Tbsp garlic powder
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• salt and pepper to taste

Pre-heat over to 400. Smash the contents of the onion soup mix. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl by hand. Roll out balls about 1/2 inch big. Place in 13x9in pan lined with foil. Bake until internal temp reaches 165 degrees about 30 minutes. Check with thermometer. 

I sometimes like to throw them in a pan of olive oil to give them a nice crust before baking. This seals in the flavors and makes them crispy. It's not as healthy but it does make a difference in flavor. 

Also, I sometimes like to dunk them in BBQ sauce half way through and let them BBQ sauce get sticky on them. They come out awesome just like that.
