Garlic Turkey Meatballs & Sauce

from Cooks.com with slight alteration

Ingredients:

1 package ground turkey meat
1 egg
1 cup garlic bread crumbs
2 dashes garlic salt or powder
1 can pasta sauce of choice

Instructions:

Add turkey meat and bread crumbs to bowl. Mix well. Add egg to mixture. Mix well until completely blended. Roll meat into any sized meat balls. Spray pan with Pam.

Place them in a frying pan over a medium flame/heat. Move pan around several times to brown the meat balls all around. After several minutes cooking, cut one open and check for color. If still red, let it cook for longer. If light brown, they are ready. Season with garlic salt or powder to taste.

Add pasta sauce and heat until bubbling

Serve over pasta.

*Also enjoy Vanilla Ice Cream topped with fresh peaches for desert!
