Frikadeller, adapted from The Family Dinner by Laurie David, with recipes by Kirstin Uhrenholdt
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup cold water
- ½ cup homemade, unseasoned breadcrumbs (or a little more, depending)
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 small onion, minced
- 2 lbs ground turkey
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the turkey. Stir well until mixed together. Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for about ten minutes, until the breadcrumbs absorb the liquid.
- Add the ground turkey to the bowl and mix well.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Oil a baking sheet and set it nearby.
- Heat a large frying pan with some oil for frying.
- Using a spoon and/or your hands, make small balls out of the mixture and place the mixture in the frying pan. Flatten the balls so they are no longer round, and are more oblong than circular.
- Fry on one side until brown, and then flip.
- When brown on both sides (more or less), remove the meatballs from the frying pan and slide them on the baking sheet.
- Repeat until all the mixture is used up and you have a baking sheet full of meatballs.
- Bake the meatballs in the oven for 20 minutes.
