Knowing that I love to cook I decided to make Gyros. Of course, I ended up with way to much ground meat so I turned some of the leftovers into meatballs. These meatballs were so good and at only 40 calories a meatball they are pretty healthy as far as meatballs go.
I used Panko bread crumbs and had to add extra to absorb some of the liquid but I also blended some of the meat with the onions to make the meatballs hold together and prevent them from being mealy.Ingredients:
- 1 pound of ground meat (I used a combo of bison, pork, and lamb)
- 1 1/3 cups panko bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 small onion
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Preheat onion to 325 degrees.
- Blend 2/3 of the meat with the seasonings, eggs, and onion until a paste is made. Mix in the remaining ingredients and shape into balls. Place meatballs on a silpat or cookie sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Serve with sauce or freeze for later use.
