Italian Meatballs

Who doesn't love Italian food? But all the carbs and grease are not pretty for my waistline. Here's how i make healthier meatball. Use extra lean ground beef or ground turkey, bake on a pan with a draining insert to separate the grease from the meat.



For the meatballs you will need:
1 pound extra lean ground beef or turkey
1 egg
1/2 cup of Italian breadcrumbs
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon worchestire sauce
1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian spice

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix until combined. Roll the meat into 1-2 inch balls.
Pre-heat oven to 400, cook for 25 minutes or until internal temperature is 160 degrees.
Serve over a hot bed of whole-wheat noodles with your favorite marinara. 
ENJOY!
