Cyclops Meatballs With Scary Green Hair
Ingredients
For the cyclops:
1 pound ground turkey (give or take a few ounces depending on package weight)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 apple, cored and seeded, then grated (peel on)
1/4 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper
6 Pimento-stuffed green olives
Ketchup
For monster hair:
Spinach spaghetti
1-2 T Butter
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Preparation
1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
Mix the ground turkey with the grated cheese, grated apple, diced onion, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
3
Form into 4-6 evenly-sized balls. Gently press each ball to flatten the bottoms (this will help keep them from falling over).
4
Place on a non-stick cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 165 degrees F.
5
5 minutes before meatballs are done, prepare the spaghetti.
6
Bring salted water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add spaghetti and cook until done.
7
Drain and put in a medium bowl.
8
Toss spaghetti with butter and Parmesan cheese.
9
Remove meatballs from oven and place on serving dish.
10
Pipe a mouth on each meatball with ketchup. (TIP: to make a piping bag squirt some ketchup into a plastic sandwich bag and snip the tip off one corner)
11
Place spaghetti on top of each meatball for the monsters' hair.
12
Serve with extra ketchup for dipping.
