Got home and decided to start dinner.. the thought was meatloaf.. some part of me had a hankering for Italian. What's more "Italian" then meatballs, right?
Actually I was inspired by the Boca de Bepo Anniversery dinner David took me to where we had the most flavorful (and the size of your head) meatball, so I decided to go with larger then normal meatballs as well.
I have never made meatballs before and quite litterally began mixing in things I had on hand. A little ground turkey and ground chuck, dry Parsley and Tyme, Italian style breadcrumbs, an egg, plus salt and pepper... finishing by rolling in yet more breadcrumbs.
Cooked for about 25 minutes and then under the broiler for a few minutes for a little color. Because of the turkey they were a little dry (overcooked??) after coming out from under the broiler. In heinsight I would have cooked them 5 minutes less and let the brolier have a go without risk of drying them out.
The maranara saved the day and the flavor was really nice.
I've satisfied my inner "italian" craving and now relaxing by the fire with my cat-- life is indeed good.
