Turkey Meatballs

Dick & I have been married almost 5 years, and just recently made my first batch of meatballs.  And I mean very first, like never in all my life before this have I made meatballs.  It was so easy, and they were so good, that I'm sure this won't be my last time.  In fact, Miss Betty Crocker gives this bit of advice to make the whole process that much more simpl:  "To save time, instead of shaping mixture into balls, pat mixture into a 9 x 3-inch rectangle in ungreased rectangular pan, 13 x 9 x 2 inches.  Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares; separate slightly.  Bake uncovered 25-30 minutes.  You can also use an ice cream scoop to form meatballs."  Sadly I did neither of these things because I tend not to read directions fully until it's too late.  But next time, I'll be set.
