Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine the milk and panko breadcrumbs. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, so the breadcrumbs can absorb the milk.

  3. Shape the turkey mixture into meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. You should have around 20-24 meatballs.

  3. 12-15 minutes.
