OMG I love the wine idea! Love anything cooked in wine!! I found my mixture to be rather sticky–which shows that results can vary. But I made mine small which could be the reason they held together.

I tried this with ground Turkey, and i made about 20 larger meatballs (used a large cookie scoop to measure)… they were quite crumbly as i turned them over in the oil… but i think it was due to my own “user error.” Next time i will make them smaller, and I’m considering sauteing them in white wine somehow? (Can’t get enough of white wine recipes lately! ) i served these with alfredo pasta this time… DELICIOUS! I used plain bread crumbs and montreal steak seasoning instead of Italian bread crumbs, and i crushed up some French fried onions instead of dehydrated onion. I think it helped the bland Turkey flavor be more “meaty,” and we loved them (even if they did crumble!)

I don’t even see veal up where I live now!!! And on the rare occasions, it’s just shoulder chops. As for the thyme, I’d go pretty easy on it because of the chicken breast being so mild. For fresh, I’d use the leaves of about 3-4 sprigs, chopped and for dried, maybe just a pinch. I’d also cook a “test” meatball and check for the flavor–if it needs more you can add it without spoiling the whole batch of meat.

Yup, I was also thinking of adding them into my Italian Wedding Soup. I might use half veal and half chicken, if I can find veal at a decent price. I was thinking of adding a bit f thyme into the mixture, so what do you think, and how much?

The soup I put these in was something like Italian wedding soup, but they’d be fantastic for the real thing. When I ground my own chicken, I actually liked the taste. When I tried the pre-ground from the supermarket, it always tasted somewhat nasty.

What kind of soup? Like italian wedding soup? Any other ideas how to use them besides appetizers?
Thanks for the recipe. I have always avoided pre ground chicken because of the “unknowns”! Thanks for the tip on grinding your own. Never thought to do that.
