Jessica Alba shares her kid-friendly turkey meatball recipe.
In a large bowl, mix turkey, panko, carrots, zucchini, onion, eggs, Italian seasoning, and salt until well combined; form into 1-inch balls.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning, until browned, about 7 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup chicken broth; cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until liquid is almost completely absorbed, about 7 minutes. Add remaining 1/4 cup broth and increase heat to medium; cook, uncovered, until liquid is absorbed. Serve.
Looks very scrumptious, I am making these meatballs for dinner tonight!! But, I was also thinking that this is NOT a recipie to have your little ones help with for obvious reasons- salmonella contamination!!
I made these for company and they were a hit with both the adults and the kids. Very simple and delicious. I did not have coarse sea salt, so substituted with table salt and used half the amount called for in the recipe (because the same volume of table salt is twice as salty as coarse sea salt).
This looks like a great recipe for the family and something young children would like to eat. Jessica Alba told Martha that she lets her small child help with mixing and rolling the meatballs. I would caution anyone who wants to do this to be aware of a problem that could result. Small children may not wash their hands as well as they should after handling raw turkey, or raw ground beef. Be aware of E coli or salmonella contamination that could could cause serious illness in the child or adult.
