Brenda.the.chef said:someone in our cluster made them for our meeting last Tuesday. I wish I could give a valid opinion because she didn't have all of the ingredients she needed so she substituted several different things. One thing is, she didn't have mint leaves, so she used mint extract.
Personally I thought they were disgusting, but I think it was because it overwhelmingly minty! lol I'd love to hear another opinion on them.
mountainmama74 said:I made them for dinner last night using the Spinach and Olive Tapenade. My only substitution was that I didn't have enough green olives, so I threw some black olives in there, too.
They. Were. Amazing.
I served them with orzo pasta, that I threw the rest of the spinach in. My whole family absolutely LOVED them! I cooked them for about 7 minutes in my microwave. I doubled the recipe, and ended up with about 35 meatballs, which was perfect (we have leftovers - yay for dinner tonight!).
I can't think of anything I would change!
mountainmama74 said:LOL I love goat cheese and actually can't wait to try that one! I also love olives, so I was excited to see these recipes!
babywings76 said:Just wondering since this thread popped up originally, has anyone else tried these? Which flavor tapenades have you liked the best? Which is your favorite to go with the meatballs? I'm not sure if I should make the Spinach & Basil one or the Red Pepper & Sundried tomato one for my Fall Kick Off tonight. Any recommendations?
babywings76 said:So, I just made one test batch just to see how the process went and make sure they don't flop on me and I'm not sure about how they turn out. They seem kind of gross & messy visually. (my camera's battery is charging, otherwise I'd post a picture of them). I need them to cool down and I'll take them out. I wonder if it would be better if I make the mixture and chill it first so that they meatball blobs are more solid next time?
Tapenade Turkey Meatballs are a delicious and healthy twist on traditional meatballs. They are made with lean ground turkey and a flavorful tapenade mixture, giving them a unique and savory taste.
To prepare Tapenade Turkey Meatballs, mix together ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, and tapenade in a bowl. Form the mixture into balls and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked.
While the recipe calls for ground turkey, you can also use ground chicken or beef for these meatballs. Just keep in mind that the cooking time may vary depending on the type of meat used.
Tapenade Turkey Meatballs can be served as an appetizer or as a main dish. They can be enjoyed on their own, with a side of vegetables or salad, or served with pasta or rice for a heartier meal.
Yes, these meatballs can be frozen either before or after cooking. Simply place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and store them for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake them in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
