Carrot Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb hamburger, ground lamb, turkey or chicken, or any combination there-of
1 1/2 cups grated carrots (peeling is optional)
1 medium onion, minced or grated
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon basil (I prefer fresh buds from my live-plant!)
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Prepare all ingrediatns as listed above and mix well. I prefer using my stand-mixer with the open paddle-blade.
Form into 1/8 cup meatballs and place in a baking pan, preferably a broiler pan, especially if using a higher-fat content meat. (I use an 1/8 cup measuring spoon and pack the meat into it on the side of the bowl, then use another spoon to pull it out and form the balls a little better on the pan--quicker than trying to do it by hand and less messy!).
Bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes. (The cook book suggested frying them, and serving with a brown gravy, but baking is healthier, and the gravy only covers the great flavor!).
