Today it is hot as hell in NJ. The best place to be for me is in the kitchen with the A/C on.
Went to Fresh Market and they had freshly ground white meat turkey (free range, antibiotic free). I also went to the local farm and picked up some just picked white eggplants and their own plum tomatoes and a big bunch of fresh basil. Easy what I want for dinner. Turkey meatballs with tomato and basil sauce.
Let me share with you how easy it is.
1 LB white meat turkey breast- ground
1 organic egg
1/3 cup bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of parmagiano reggiano cheese, 1/3 cup of locatelli romano
More or less
JD balsamic or other great aged balsamic-about 1/2 teaspoon
1/2 cup fresh basil pureed in food processor and chopped fresh parsley
3 -4 cloves fresh garlic -crushed and chopped
Into a metal bowl add ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, cheeses, salt, pepper, garlic, splash of balsamic and chopped parsley and basil. Get it to right meatball consistency adding more bread crumbs if too wet.
Form into little balls.
Into a wok or large frying pan add 1-2 tblspoons extra virgin OO. Heat pan and add meatballs. Turn down heat being careful not to burn, just brown on all sides. They cook really fast. Total cooking time about five minutes.
Take out and drain off oil on paper towels.
