Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground turkey
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
6 bacon slices slightly frozen, finely chopped
1/2 cup flat parsley (compact), very finely chopped
2 shallots, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon italian spices
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/3 cup panko
1 tablespoon white wine
1 egg
Salt and ground pepper
Olive oil

Preparation

Preheat the oven at 425°F.
Except for the olive oil, put all the ingredients in a big bowl and combine with your hands. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a big pan at medium-high temp, heat a drizzle of olive oil. Take a small amount of mix and form a mini pattie with it. Cook for about 5 minutes, taste and rectify seasonning if necessary.
Take a big tablespoon of the mix and form a small ball with it then set aside. Repeat until all mix is gone! Sear the meatballs on all side, about 5 minutes total. Add olive oil if needed.
Place the meatballs in a big cooking tray then cook in the oven for about 10 minutes. Stir at half time. Serve with my tzatziki mint sauce!
