Turkey Meatballs

[munchkinette]

Turkey meatballs

¾ lb ground turkey

3 uncooked turkey sausages*

3-4 Tbsp pesto sauce**

½ log of polenta, crumbled

1 egg

pepper

Squeeze sausage out of casing. Combine with ground turkey. Add in egg and pesto sauce. Add crumbled polenta and pepper.

Shape into 1Tbsp meatballs. Brown in a frying pan. Cover with red sauce of your choice and simmer 10 minutes (or until cooked).

Serve over polenta.

NOTES:

*Some sausages (especially flavored sausages) can have gluten. I don't know which brand I used but they were the fatter sausages, not the small breakfast sausages.

**I try to get the fresh pesto sauce in the deli case, but some stores don't have safe versions. I use the stuff in the jar if I can't find gluten-free fresh stuff. Some pesto sauces contain dairy and/or pine nuts.

This would also make a really good meatloaf recipe but I've never tried it. I have no idea how to make real polenta from scratch but you could use that too.

I use a similar recipe except that I add instant mashed potatoes (gluten-free of course), to the meat to bind it together and keep it together...
