Notes
- For a milder onion flavor, cook the onion in ½ tablespoon of butter in a skillet until softened. Cool before adding to the meat mixture.
- Overmixing can lead to dense meatballs, so mix just enough to combine the ingredients.
- If the meat mixture is sticky, roll the meatballs with wet hands.
- Turkey meatballs should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
