1 pound ground chicken or turkey
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dillweed
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium-size bowl, gently break apart chicken. Add egg, dill, peel, cheese, salt and pepper. Stir gently until evenly combined. In a microwave or small frying pan, cook a spoonfull of chicken mixture. Taste and increase seasoning, if you like.
Roll chicken mixture into compact 1 1/2 inch balls. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Do not crowd. Bake in centre of preheated oven 6 minutes. Turn balls and continue baking until lightly browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes more. Serve right away, refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze. Reheat quickly in microwave.
Serves 4.
TIME SAVER: Plan ahead. Make a double or triple batch of meatballs. Immediately refrigerate leftovers. Once cool, place in resealable plastic bags and freeze. Reheat in the microwave or add still frozen to sauce or soup before heating. No need to defrost them first.
