Best Turkey Meatballs And Peanut Sauce Recipes

TURKEY MEATBALLS AND PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Make Meatballs:.
• Preheat broiler.
• In a large bowl, combine turkey, chicken stock, oregano, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix gently with your hands until well combined. Transfer to refrigerator for at least 1 hour or freezer for 30 minutes, until well-chilled.
• Form 1-1/2 inch balls, using two spoons or a 1 3/4-inch ice cream scoop. Balls will be about 1 1/2 ounces each.
• Place formed balls on a sheet pan lightly coated with olive oil. Drizzle meatballs lightly with olive oil. Transfer to broiler and cook until golden and just cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Serve with peanut sauce, blanched brocollini, and a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with cilantro and crushed red pepper flakes (if desired) and serve.
• Makes Peanut Sauce:.
• Combine coconut milk, peanut butter, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add lemon juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, and set aside until ready to serve.

TURKEY MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs, onion, chives, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes, if using, and mix well. Add turkey and egg and blend with your hands until well mixed. If you've got time, cover mixture and chill for an hour or up to 24 hours. These are easiest to form into balls while very cold. Form into 28 meatballs, each about 1 1/4-inches in diameter.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large sauté pan. When hot, add enough of the meatballs to fit in one layer without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, add another tablespoon of oil to pan and brown another layer of meatballs, transferring them to the plate as they brown. Repeat until all meatballs are browned, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
• When meatballs are all browned, add marinara sauce to pan and bring to a simmer, scraping up the browned bits on the pan bottom. Return meatballs and their juices to pan, shake pan to cover the meatballs with sauce, and lower heat. Partly cover pan and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve hot, drizzled with more olive oil and sprinkled with more cheese, if you like.
