Polpette [0000967]

Ingredients:

1 pound (450g) ground beef or ground turkey
1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, egg, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.

Place the meatballs in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.

While the meatballs are cooking, heat the marinara sauce in a separate saucepan until it's warmed through.

Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish.

Pour the warm marinara sauce over the meatballs, and you can sprinkle some additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top for extra flavor and presentation.
