Turkey Meatballs with Whole Wheat Spaghetti

I found a recipe for Turkey Meatballs on FoodNetwork.com a few years ago and it has been a regular in my family ever since. It is a recipe from Ellie Krieger. I only changed two things: I substituted fresh white bread crumbs with Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs that I always have in my pantry. I used Minced Garlic that I found in the produce section instead of Fresh Garlic Cloves. The meatballs are so simple to make, but I will warn you: They will smell AMAZING broiling! 🙂

Lets get started with what you will need. We are a family that LOVES leftovers, so this recipe is for a double batch:

3lbs of Lean Ground Turkey Seasoned with Salt and Pepper
1 Cup of Finely Grated Carrot
1 Cup of Finely Chopped Onion
4 Large Garlic Cloves, Minced
1 Cup of Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
4 Tablespoons of Minced Fresh Parsley
4 Teaspoons of Minced Fresh Thyme
2 Eggs Lightly Beaten
Cooking Spray

3 LBS OF LEAN GROUND TURKEY SEASONSED WITH SALT AND PEPPER

1 CUP OF FINELY GRATED CARROT

1 CUP OF FINELY CHOPPED ONION

4 LARGE GARLIC CLOVES, MINCED

1 CUP OF ITALIAN SEASONED BREAD CRUMBS

4 TABLESPOONS OF MINCED FRESH PARSLEY
4 TEASPOONS OF MINCED FRESH THYME

2 EGGS LIGHTLY BEATEN

Preheat the Broiler
Line Baking Sheet with Aluminum Foil and Spray with Pam

Combine all ingredients and form into 2 1/2 balls. Place the meatballs on the baking sheet and broil until all sides are brown and crispy, turning once.
