The crowds loved this little ditty too. I had some chipotle raspberry sauce for dipping, but most agreed they were tasty without! And that the turkey was not noticeable!

- 1 pound ground turkey
- ½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Use hands, works better!
Using a cookie scooper shape mixture into about 20-24 meatballs.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
Add meatballs and brown on all sides. Using tongs makes it go easier.
