    She loved it so much.
14. 14
    I added 1/2 teaspoons sage, 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan, onion power, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
15. 15
    Also, I added about 1/8 cup of water.

    It made the meatballs soooo delicious.

    * UPDAT: Maybe I should have been more specific about the fat content of the turkey but 99% fat free turkey does not work (I also tried to use it).
18. 18
    The meat should have at least 7% fat.

    Sometime I used at meatloaf mix (beef/pork/veal), and added 2 TBSP of parmesan cheese and 2 tsp crushed garlic for extra flavor.

    Baked them according to the recipe then put them in a pot of sauce to simmer for a couple hours.
