Turkey meatballs

Preheat oven to 200°C fan-forced.

Heat a non-stick frying pan to medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a medium bowl, combine the onions, garlic, basil, egg yolk and pepper and mix well. Add the turkey; gently mix with clean damp hands until just combined. Form the mixture into 5 cm meatballs — about 1 heaped tablespoon each. 

Place on a baking tray and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.

Makes about 24 meatballs (4 meatballs per serving).

TIPS:

• If you prefer, you can cook the meatballs in the non-stick frying pan until golden brown and cooked through.  
• If you have Dairy units to spare, add ¼ cup of grated Parmesan.
• You can freeze uncooked meatballs in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw meatballs in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
