Three free meatball recipes.
3 free meatball recipes from my private collection - try them all and let me know which one you like the best. Sam's or Gramabarb's? Try my turkey meatballs comfort meal. Meatballs across various cultures - for example: In the Philippines, meatballs are called almondigas or bola-bola and usually served in a soup with rice vermicelli called misua, toasted garlic, squash and pork cracklings. Chinese meatballs (specifically, a dish common in Shanghai cuisine) are most often made of pork and are usually steamed or boiled, either as-is, or with the addition of soy sauce. Turkish cuisine features more than 80 types of meatballs (köfte) and of course, the world famous Swedish meatballs that are traditionally served with gravy, boiled potatoes, lingonberry jam, and sometimes fresh pickled cucumber.

I say GramaBarb's recipe as I am really into supporting all the grandmas of the world out there -- passing along their recipes to their grandkids. Anywho, yikes, don't want allspice in my meatballs.

I'm gong with Grama's just from reading the ingredients. I like the spices better. Although the truth is I like my husband Vic's Mexican soup of albondigas the best!

Turkey Meatballs Comfort Meal
Make meatballs: In a bowl stir together well 1 lb-ground turkey, 1 lg Garlic clove; minced, 3/4 c Fresh bread crumbs, 1/2 c Finely chopped onion, 1/2 c Minced fresh parsley leaves,1 lg Egg; beaten lightly, 1 ts salt, and 1 ts pepper and form into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. In a large heavy skillet heat 2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking , shaking skillet, until browned and cooked through.
I like to make a pure turkey gravy from all natural turkey broth as a base and follow your favorite gravy recipe. Pour over the meatballs in a large casserole and top with heaping fluffy homemade mashed potatoes. Dot with butter and a sprinkle of cheese and bake until bubbly and the butter and cheese have melted. Serve with a big salad and crusty rolls.

- I love food lenses....and this is a great good one. All these recipes sound delicious.
My ex-wife used to make "Chestnut Meatballs." One of the ingredients was diced waterchestnuts which gave them an interesting crunch in every bite. They were terrific. I've gotta see if I can dig out that recipe. I'm getting hungry. 5-starring this lens, favoriting it and rolling it to my Laftovers lens. Hope you'll stop by and see what everyone is laughing at.
