Meatball Question

[nissenpa]

I'm going to make these meatballs tomorrow night and was wondering how they would turn out if I baked them instead.

Has anyone made these?

I ask because the last two meatball recipes I have made called for baking (a curried lamb meatball and a veal meatball) and they turned out extremely juicy and deliscious. I would like that again.

I always bake my turkey meatballs and they always come out moist and delish. I'm definitely going to try Doron's meatball recipe (and bake them) -- sounds like a great combo of flavors!!

Alton Brown has a baked meatball recipe where he recommends baking in mini muffin tins, and they come out quite moist and yummy after basically frying in their fats in the oven! I think this would work especially well with a turkey meatball recipe like Orangette's since turkey tends to have less fat and may more easily dry out.

The combination sounds wonderful. As for baking meatballs, I find it works much better. I think you will find most chefs/cooks will bake them off. Another good combination of meats for your meatballs is using equal parts of lamb, pork, and beef. I think the rest of the ingrediants is pruely up to your preferance on taste......OBX

My standard recipe for meatballs with beef calls for baking them on a broiler pan at 400 for 15 minutes. They come out prefect every time.

Curried lamb meatball? That sounds great! Would you please share the recipe? ty

My mouth watered reading the combination of ingredients. Sounds fabulous. See no reason why you couldn't bake it as small patties or meatloaves either.
I like to use fresh breadcrumb rather than dry ones as I find it produces a lighter, more tender result.
