Not Your Mama's Meatballs


This recipe is mine adapted from an Epicurious recipe - mine is better ;) 

Give it a whirl, I'll put pics up next time I make it: 

1 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned or regular)
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese 
½ cup finely chopped onions or shallots
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
6 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
4-6 tablespoons pine nuts - roasted and chopped
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound/package spicy chicken sausage (I generally useTrader Joe's Sicilian chicken sausage (remove from casings if not bulk)
1 pound/package ground turkey
6 tablespoons milk, cream, crème fraiche or sour cream
2 large eggs 
Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Add meat, milk & eggs, mix thoroughly. Shape into meatballs about 1 ½ inch diameter. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in 350 oven for about 30 minutes. (Should make 50-60 meatballs) Enjoy!
