This produces light and savory meatballs.  5 finely minced mushrooms 1 pound ground turkey 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs 2 jumbo eggs 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon flour 1/3 cup freshly grated Sargento Parmesan cheese.  Mix all the ingredients well then roll into 1-2 inch meatballs. Fry over medium low heat in 1/2 inch olive oil. Cooking in batches of 8, this makes 24 meatballs taking 25 minutes. Turn frequently when browned. I had it on 5 for our gas stove.
