Italian Meatballs

Italian Meatballs

1 lb. ground turkey

1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs

1/3 cup water

1/4 cup grated parmesean cheese

1 medium onion

1 tsp. minced garlic

Garlic powder (to taste)

Salt (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

Preheat the broiler. Mix all ingredients together being careful not to add all the water at one time. Shape the meatballs into balls (medium sized) and place in a baking dish. Place the dish under the broiler and broil meatballs until browned on one side and then turn to the other side and brown. Add to the dish of your choice. Serve.

*Johnna's tip: Meatballs, of course, match the best with spaghetti. I think many of us have forgotten the simple concept of spaghetti and meatballs and how good it can be for a meal. After munching on "Albondigas a la Jardinera" (Translation: Spanish meatballs with vegetable and tomato sauce) @ La Tasca in D.C., we were inspired to post a meatball recipe. La Tasca, by the way, has an awesome happy hour from 4-7 p.m. with $3.50 Sangrias and $2.50 tapas...
