"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

First make the meatballs:

Whisk the egg and water in a medium bowl to blend. Mix in breadcrumbs and let stand 5 minutes. Add the turkey, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper; gently stir to blend. Using wet hands, shape the turkey mixture into meatballs. Place on a baking sheet, cover and chill for half an hour.

Personal Notes:
This recipe is lifted wholesale from Bon Appetit magazine - should I add a copyright symbol? Anyway, it's the one Michael made on a rainy day in Muskoka one year and it's a hearty meal in a soup.
