lemony turkey meatballs

 

I've made these meatballs twice and plan to make them again this week.  They are SO good with the lemon zest and fresh parsley. Delicious.

Note:  Great with jasmine rice, hummus and tzatziki sauce.

Combine bread crumbs, egg, parsley, lemon, salt and pepper.  Add the turkey and knead until combined.  Use a small scoop to form meatballs.  Place on a small cookies sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
