Ingredients

• No-stick cooking spray
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Dried Plum Puree
• 1½ teaspoons Italian herb seasoning

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F.

Form mixture into 20 (1½-inch) meatballs. (For best flavor and appearance, form and cook meatballs immediately after mixing meat mixture.)

Place meatballs on baking sheet; bake 18 to 22 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, until no longer pink in centers and juices show no pink color.

Serve as a main dish with your favorite pasta sauce and spaghetti or as an appetizer with Cajun Dried Plum Barbecue Sauce for dipping.
