Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a small bowl, stir cereal with milk and let soak for 5 minutes.

Form mixture into 1 ½ inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush meatballs with oil and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
TIP: Serve these meatballs on their own or in your favourite sauce.
VARIATION: For a turkey meatloaf, press mixture into a loaf pan and bake at 180°C (350°F) oven for 45 minutes or until cooked through. Slice to serve.
