Turkey Meatballs

My friend Jaimie who is a Master Blogger wrote about her attempt to make meatballs.  It made my hungry, although from her account she made them wrong.  I made them with 85% lean turkey, as opposed to my normal 95% lean that I eat. 

1 pckg ground turkey
1/2 grated onion
3 cloves of garlic
palm of brad crumbs
palm of Parmesan
2 tbsp tomato paste
bunch of parsley
salt
pepper



My plan was to get a good crust on them in a pan on the stove and then transfer to the oven.  The first batch didn't turn out....great. 



The second batch was much better!  Turned the stove down a little and put half the olive oil in the pan.  It wasn't much to begin with, just so you now.  So in the end it was maybe a teaspoon.  I made some Tzatziki sauce too. 
1/2 cup of plain non-fat yogurt
1 cucumber diced
1 tsp dill
juice of 1 lemon

The end result was awesome and delicious! Annnnd to top it off I cleaned my kitchen.  My grandmother Mimi always told my mama to clean as you cook, or clean as your go, I can't remember.  Either way it was basically don't leave the mess for the end.  Occasionally I listen and I am more than thrilled to have a clean kitchen after a great supper!  The times I don't I imagine Mimi shaking her head with the smallest smile on her face like mama does now!
