TURKEY MEATBALLS WITHOUT EGGS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Add butter, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool until easily handled, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add ground turkey to cooled rice in a medium bowl; mix well.
• Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, crushed bread (or crackers), onion, oregano, garlic, spinach, salt, pepper, and parmesan. Mix until well combined.
• Add ground turkey; mix well. Use your hands to mix the buttermilk mixture into the ground meat thoroughly. Try not to overwork the meat; pinch the meat between your fingers rather than kneading it.
• Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls.
• Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• Add the marinara sauce. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until meatballs are cooked, about 20 -25 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt and pepper, if necessary.
• Garnish with fresh basil, if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
