We all have those simple go-to meals that find their way onto regular rotation. Ground turkey (or chicken) is simply mixed with a base of ricotta cheese, bread crumbs, broth and seasonings.
Formed meatballs are rolled is additional seasoned breadcrumbs and sautéed in olive oil in a covered pan to allow them to cook through while adding a nice crunch on their exterior.
Because of poultry’s low-fat content and somewhat bland flavors, the challenge is to create meatballs that are pleasingly moist and flavorful. Helped with ricotta’s natural cheese fat, and chicken broth, and a drizzle of olive oil, result in super moist meatballs. Seasonings provide extra flavors.
Best part, ingredients are combined in minutes and slower cooked with occasional turning. Serve with vegetables, carbs (rice, potato or beans) and a side salad for a satisfying meal.
