I received my first request on the Savor and Nourish Facebook Page a few days ago! Yippee! The request was for some Gluten Free Turkey meatballs. So I did some research and tested two methods. I think you could also try a third method and just skip the breadcrumbs and milk without replacing them, but where's the fun in that? Besides I don't the texture would be quite the same.
The first method involved Gluten Free Bread and milk, but I'll talk more about that tomorrow. The second, and my preference, involved Gelatine and water. Gelatine is the same stuff that Jello is made of. The version used in this recipe is unflavored. It comes in little envelopes and is a fine granular texture. When added to water, it'll puff up a bit, or "bloom". When used in cooking, it'll hold things together without using breadcrumbs and milk!
I asked my non-gluten-free siblings to taste test this operation, and both recipes passed with flying colors.
