We bake the weelicious meatballs too, seems unnecessary to fry them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1578799 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 14:07:29 +0000 rrachael 1578799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love these!: <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/875683/turkey-meatballs" rel="nofollow">http://www.marthastewart.com/875683/turkey-meatballs</a></p> <p>I do peas instead of zucchini for no other reason than lo loves peas. The first time I made them for the same reason as you, but now they've become a regular part of our meal rotation. They're so yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1578780 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 13:45:34 +0000 StrawberryBee 1578780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So here's what I ended up doing; I mostly followed the weelicious recipe, but baked it in the oven instead of in a skillet:</p> <p>Ingredients:<br /> some onion, finely diced<br /> some yellow bell pepper, finely diced<br /> 1/2 pound ground turkey<br /> 1 egg yolk, beaten<br /> 1/3 cup baby oatmeal cereal<br /> 1/4 teaspoon dried basil and oregano<br /> shake of garlic powder</p> <p>1. Preheat oven to 400F</p> <p>2. Put onions and pepper pieces in a small skillet with a tiny bit of olive oil and cook until soft and translucent</p> <p>3. Combined onion and pepper with the rest of the ingredients.</p> <p>4. Refrigerate for at least an hour (was supposed to allow the bread product (in this case oatmeal) to absorb the flavors?)</p> <p>5. Make into tiny meatballs (about a teaspoon big) and put on a cookie sheet lined with foil that's been sprayed with a little bit of coconut or olive oil spray.</p> <p>6. Bake 10 minutes. Make sure that they're fully cooked.</p> <p>7. Enjoy or freeze! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1578762 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 13:34:33 +0000 StrawberryBee 1578762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the great recipes and ideas!

I just mix the turkey with diced onion, 2 or so eggs, panko, ground pepper and garlic powder, and saute them on the stovetop so the outsides brown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555792 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 09:26:47 +0000 T-Mom 1555792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Those are really good!

I also replaced with breadcrumbs and shredded zucchini in as well and also have done it with turkey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555706 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 08:52:29 +0000 winniebee 1555706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make ground beef ones all the time. One pound of meat. In a bowl mix one egg, salt pepper garlic powder and generous pint of breadcrumbs (progresso plain). Mix together well and make small meatballs. Brown in pan of hot olive oil and then add to pot of simmering red sauce. Cook for at least 30 mins. My sons favorite food of all time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555682 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 08:45:02 +0000 looch 1555682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do something similar, I sautee diced peppers, celery, onion and sometimes zucchini, but for meatloaf. It would work nicely for meatballs too, as long as the pieces are small.</p> <p>And I'd sub in finely ground oatmeal for the breadcrumbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555538 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 08:00:25 +0000 yoursilverlining 1555538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: this is what we do too; love them with sautéed onion and green pepper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555537 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 07:59:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1555537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saute some onions and add them in to the turkey. I also add garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, italian seasoning, salt and pepper.</p> <p>I like to cook them in chicken broth because they get softer and the kids like that consistency better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555458 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 07:23:23 +0000 fancyfunction 1555458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: You know, I gave M items that contained a little milk in them (like meatballs, pancakes, etc) well before I introduced milk for her to drink and we didn't have a problem - but it's always safe to wait if you don't feel comfortable doing so :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555426 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 06:42:39 +0000 dagret 1555426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like these, and bonus points for sneaking in veggies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555402 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 05:45:12 +0000 StrawberryBee 1555402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: Thanks! We haven't introduced cows milk or eggs yet. Is it a problem cooking with them? </p> <p>@HLK208: thanks, never would have thought to use tomato sauce as the liquid component! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555325 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 22:54:20 +0000 HLK208 1555325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For every pound of turkey, I add 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs, 1/2 cup parmesan, 1/2 cup tomato sauce. If I were making them for others, I'd add Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. I bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555303 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 22:30:24 +0000 fancyfunction 1555303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not really a recipe but it's simple enough - I make meatballs by adding in some milk, breadcrumbs, an egg and some garlic powder to the meat. I've only ever cooked them directly in tomato sauce, but I know you can bake them too. And I think these would probably work well in the soup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-good-ground-turkey-meatball-recipe#post-1555297 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 22:24:19 +0000 StrawberryBee 1555297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking to get a good recipe I can use for my 8 month old to introduce more protein in her diet. Bonus points if I can use some of them for us to make italian wedding soup ;).</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
