1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, for dusting the meat balls before
browning
Instructions
Mix turkey meat, onion, fresh herbs, garlic, and
salt and pepper. Add eggs, bread crumbs, and heavy cream. Roll meatballs to desired size.
See Chef's Note 1.
Heat a large saute pan. Add oil and butter and cook over medium heat until the butter
turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Browning the butter adds great flavor.
See Chef's Note 2. Dust meatballs in a little flour and brown. The meatballs should be
cooked on a medium-high heat. They can be finished in the oven by roasting or placed in
pre-made tomato sauce. Remember this is only for browning the meatballs.

Chef's Note 2:
Rub a little water in the palm of your hands. It makes the job easier.
