spaghetti meatballs

Baking these meatballs allows the panko/parmesan to form a nice crunchy brown crust, and the mayonnaise keeps the meatballs from drying out.

Simple Tomato Spaghetti Sauce completes the meal.

---

½ pound sausage (Italian or Jimmy Dean pork)
½ pound ground turkey
½ cup panko or your favorite bread crumbs
  (I've used sourdough & asiago bread as well)
¼ cup of less Parmesan cheese, to your taste

About 2t parsley (fresh or dried) to your taste
About 1t oregano (fresh or dried) to your taste
2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Black pepper to taste
1 good dollop of mayonnaise

---

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix everything together and form golf-ball sized meat balls. Put meatballs on a broiler pan and bake until browned, about 35-45 minutes total, turning them once in awhile to get them a uniform color.

Serve with Simple Tomato Sauce and your favorite pasta.
