Premium Turkey Meatballs
"fantastic, low fat, juicy and flavorful. These are at their best served on a roll with marinara and mozerella, but are also great a la carte.
the fennel seeds may seem like a lot, it's great, trust me. Just chuck them in whole."

This is a lesson for me to fully read a recipe before starting prep. I had already mixed several ingredients when I realized that this recipes called for [b]1/4 cup[/b] of fennel seeds. I couldn't imagine how overwhelming that flavor would be. So...I crushed about a teaspoon or more of fennel seeds using my mortar and pestle and added about 1/4-1/2 cup of dried bread crumbs (the recipe didn't call for any) to the mix. The resulting meatballs were excellent, even after my moment of recipe terror. After baking, I dropped them into marinara sauce to simmer while the pasta finished cooking. My husband had seconds. I will make these meatballs again, with my revisions to the recipe.
