McDuff's Wild Romp


In McDuff's Wild Romp by Rosemary Wells, it is Sunday dinner time and McDuff, the dog, and Purlina, the cat, both want the precious fallen Turkey Tidbit. Who will come out victorious and what will happen in the process? Your child will laugh at McDuff and Purlina's antics! After reading this book enjoy some Turkey Tidbits:

Turkey Tidbits
(aka Turkey Meatballs)

1 pkg ground turkey
2 oz breadcrumbs (plain or Italian flavored)
2 oz Parmesan Cheese
1 egg (beaten)
Chopped onion to taste (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on the sheet.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands.

Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop (or your hands) to make small meatballs. This mix holds together well and is easy to work with.

Place the meatballs on the wire rack. Bake for 10 minutes, flip and bake for 10 minutes more.

Optional: I like to place the meatballs under the broiler for a few minutes more so that the tops brown and a bit more fat drips below.

Serve as spaghetti and meatballs or make kabobs and enjoy!
