Pictures from Us Cooking These Meatballs
These meatball can be made with any meat combination that you want. We have used ground chicken, ground pork, ground turkey, ground beef, ground veal,and ground lamb, at different times.
In these pictures we made this batch with a combination of ground turkey and ground lamb. They were fantasic.
Make sure to chop up the onions very small.
Mix everthing in a big bowl.
No, this is not one big meatball! We rolled this out into 32 – 1 ounce meatballs. About the size of a ping pong ball.
Place the maetballs on a wax paper lined sheet and place in the refridgerator for 1 hour to get really cold and help them stay together better.
Place meatballs in a large skillet. We used 2 large skillets with 16 meatballs in each. If you have only 1 skillet, cook them in batches. Do not over crowd the pan. Add 1/4 inch of water to the skillet. Bring to a simmer. Cover skillet and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for 1 hour.
Let them cool completly if you are going to package them. We pack themin quart size freezer bags with 8 in each bag.
