Canned Tuna Meatballs: From Prep to Plate

• Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your meatballs will cook evenly and develop a delightful golden crust.
• In a mixing bowl, add the well-drained canned tuna. Use a fork or potato masher to break it up into smaller pieces. The texture should be flaky but not too fine.
• To the tuna, add the minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs or flour, salt, pepper, and chopped dill or parsley. Mix everything gently but thoroughly until well combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want your meatballs to remain tender.
• Using your hands, scoop out a portion of the mixture and roll it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball. Place the meatballs on an oven tray lined with parchment paper.
• Pop the tray into the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through. You can turn them halfway through for even browning.
• Once baked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or over pasta. Enjoy the delightful flavors of your Canned Tuna Meatballs!
