Check out what our friends from Always Order Dessert have to say about this recipe:
“I was poking through the freezer this weekend looking for something interesting to make for dinner, when I found a couple pounds of frozen ground turkey meat. I pulled it out and put it in the microwave to thaw, while I debated my options. I could do a turkey meatloaf (I love Ina’s recipe) or a quick chili, but I decided that meatballs would be best because the leftovers would be great for lunch throughout the week.”
Meatballs would have been my choice too if I was presented with the same predicament. It’s just really amazing to find a recipe such as this that will instantly grab anyone’s attention. Meatballs for the win this time- sorry, meatloaf.
Ingredients
1/2 pound thick-cut Black Forest or other smoked bacon
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and cut into quarters
3 medium cloves garlic, peeled
2 pounds Tyson ground turkey
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon McCormick ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon McCormick red chili flakes (optional)
3 tablespoons McCormick chia seeds (optional)
3 cups Prego marinara or tomato sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup College Inn chicken broth or water
Sargento Grated cheese, fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. In a food processor, combine bacon, onion, and garlic. Process until bacon and onion are finely grated (about 1 minute). In a large bowl, combine bacon mixture, ground turkey, salt, black pepper, red chili flakes, and chia seeds. Use your hands to mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
Gently form the mixture into 12 large meatballs and arrange on the baking sheet. Bake about 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden on top.
Transfer meatballs to a deep skillet or saucepan and pour the sauce on top along with the broth or water. Simmer on low for 15 minutes, turning the meatballs occasionally to make sure they’re fully covered with the sauce. Serve meatballs with the sauce on their own or with pasta or other sides. Store leftovers in remaining sauce.
