Ingredients

6 ounces spicy Italian sausage
6 ounces ground beef
6 ounces ground turkey
1/4 cup non-fat milk
1 1/4 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 eggs
1 Tablespoon chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
1 Tablespoon pine nuts
1 Tablespoon raisins
salt and pepper, to taste
olive oil, for sauteing
1 Tablespoon water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 ºF.
In a large bowl, combine the ground Italian sausage, ground beef, ground turkey, non-fat milk, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, 2 lightly beaten eggs, chopped parsley, pine nuts, raisins, and salt and pepper. Use your hands to thoroughly combine all of the ingredients.
Use approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture (per meatball) to form the meatballs.
Beat together the remaining two eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. Coat the meatballs in the eggwash and then roll them in the remaining 1 cup of breadcrumbs.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to liberally coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the meatballs several at a time to the pan, careful not to crowd them together. Brown them for 2-3 minutes on all sides.
Transfer the browned meatballs to the oven and bake them for 10 minutes, or until they're fully cooked.
Drain the meatballs on paper towels and serve.
