Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Perfectly seasoned and topped with a rich and creamy gravy, these turkey-beef meatballs are a delicious and healthy twist on a classic comfort food.
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound raw ground turkey
1 pound ground beef
1 can (10.75 ounce size) reduced-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup water
1 envelope turkey gravy mix
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set aside a broiler pan.
In a bowl, combine the eggs, bread crumbs, onion, parsley, black pepper, garlic powder, turkey, and ground beef. Mix well.
Shape the meat mixture into 1 1/2-inch size meatballs. Place on the broiler pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked. Remove the meatballs from the pan and place in a crock pot.
In a bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, water, gravy mix, and dried thyme. Mix well then pour over the meatballs in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours (or on high for 1-2 hours) or until everything is heated through.
Serve the meatballs and sauce with noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

I liked the combination of beef and turkey for the meatballs because they were more tender than just turkey which often is dried out.
