BALLERS

Billy and I talked once or twice about opening up a food truck called Ballers. I'm pretty confident that I can cook a mean meatball. Mean meaning tasty as hell. I make a lot of my meatballs with ground turkey. I just like the flavor better than beef some times. These are my basic meatballs with a tomato sauce base. I served them with a salad because Billy and I are trying to eat healthier. Buahaha... who are we kidding?!

Ingredients:
1lb ground turkey
1 egg
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
2 green onions, sliced
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
 red pepper flakes, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
EVOO
one small can tomato sauce

Directions:

  Preheat oven to *350. Mix all ingredients other than EVOO and tomato sauce in a bowl at room temp. I always pull my meat and eggs out of fridge first and let them get to close to room temparture. Form meat into 12 or so balls. On medium-high poor about 2 tsp of EVOO in frying pan. Saute meatballs to brown all edges only a minute or two on each side. Poor tomato sauce over meatballs and set in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.  Make sure you use a pan capable to go in the oven. You will seriously have some YUMMY balls. LOL. I'm sure this is a basic recipe for meatballs but I assure you if you take the time to brown the edges it makes a huge difference. BALLERSSS!
