2 lbs lean ground turkey (lean ground beef would be fine too)
3 egg whites
3/4 cups whole wheat bread crumbs
1/3 cup water
3/4 of an onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup dried parsley
3 tsp dried basil
1 1/2 tsp ground pepper
Preheat oven broiler.
Just mix all ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl (the hands work best -- blaaaaah! I hate that part!). Shape into balls about 1 1/2 inch in diameter.
Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange meatballs on baking sheet, then place under broiler for a total of 12-15 minutes. After about 6 minutes, remove from oven, rotate the meatballs, then put them back in the oven until they are cooked on all sides.
Makes around 60-65 meatballs at 27 calories per meatball.
