First Homemade Dinner {Our Sweet Home South}

I

Two weeks ago, The Hubbs and I had Our First Homemade Dinner in Our Sweet Home South. It was absolutely delish and felt great to have a hot homemade meal that was well deserved and much needed. After all of our hardwork, we sure did work up an appetite for homemade turkey meatballs and angel hair pasta with feta spaghetti squash accompanied by a crisp white table wine from Post Familie Winery.

Rachel Ray's Homemade Turkey Meatballs

Whatcha Need

1 1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 large egg

1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper

2 pounds ground turkey

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 cups chicken broth


What To Do

- In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup bread crumbs, the onion, egg, parsley, parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper

- Add the turkey and mix until combined. Place the remaining bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Roll the meat mixture into eighteen 1 1/2-inch balls, then roll in the bread crumb mixture to coat

- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat

- Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes

- Lower the heat to medium-low; add 1/2 cup chicken broth and cook until the liquid is absorbed

- Add the remaining chicken broth in 1/4-cup increments until the meatballs are cooked through and all the broth has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Enjoy Sweets!!
