Homemade Spaghetti Meatballs

SKU:
Baking meatballs en masse means enough to freeze for another day.

​The panko/parmesan combo gives a good crunchy bite, and good ole' mayonnaise gives them a little more flavor depth and keeps them from drying out.

Ingredients

1 package of sausage (Italian, Jimmy Dean pork, or Homemade Pork Sausage), about one pound
1 package of ground turkey, about one pound
½ cup panko or your favorite bread crumbs
¼ cup or slightly 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
1-2 good dollops of mayonnaise

What To Do

Pre-heat oven to 350°F.

​Mix turkey and sausage together in a large mixing bowl. When they are well-blended, add panko, Parmesan, parslely, oregano, garlic and pepper until all are well incorporated. Add 1 dollop of mayonnaise to start, and if it is looking a little too dry, add the second. The "meat dough" should be a bit sticky, the consistency of pre-cooked meatloaf.

Form into a two-bite sized meatball, slightly smaller than a ping pong ball. Line up meatballs on a broiler pan and bake ar 350°F until browned, about 35-40 minutes total, turning them once in awhile to get them a uniform color.

Notes

  • I like tiny meatballs, about a two-bite size because I like more outside crunch to the meatball. My husband makes larger, more bambucha-sized ones that are slightly larger than a golf ball, and these can take a little long to cook throughout.
  • Using hamburger instead of ground turkey makes a richer meatball, and so reduce mayonnaise to 1 dollop.
  • Serve with Simple Tomato Sauce and your favorite pasta.
  • Sourdough or asiago cheese bread crumbs work well too.
