This meatball encompasses all the flavors of a stereotypical Christmas or Thanksgiving meal all in one bite. Ground Turkey is mixed together with spices, herbs, rice, nuts, rice and cheese and rolled in fresh breadcrumbs before it’s baked to a crispy finish. It’s the magic of the holidays all in one bite.
In
this recipe I’m
using lean Turkey because this is the only kind that was available, but
dark
meat would work well too. I’ve got one pound of minced Turkey and I’m
going to be adding some crazy favours of Christmas to the mixture
before I shape them into meatballs. I’m also adding small cubes of
Asiago that will form pockets of melty cheese. These meatballs are
rolled in a breadcrumb, herbs and grated cheese mixture before baking in
a hot oven. If you use a mini ice cream scoop, you can make an
appetizer size or a regular ice cream scoop size would make a great side
to a creamy pasta.
