Turkey Meatballs with Cilantro Lime Sauce
These low amine, low-fat turkey meatballs put a tart and spicy twist on regular meatballs. Low amine CAN be delicious. I’m playing with a version of this low amine turkey meatball to see whether I can turn it into a saucy appetizer, too. More to come!
2 lbs lean ground turkey
1/2 C garlic breadcrumbs
2 eggs
Seasoning Mix:
1 Tbsp blackening seasoning
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp Montreal Spicy Steak seasoning
1 Tbsp sea salt
1 Tbsp cayenne
Sauce Mix:
2 bunches well-washed, chopped cilantro (about 2 cups)
10 cloves garlic
1″ fresh ginger, chopped
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 1/2 tsp ascorbic acid
1 tsp sugar
3 Tbsp water
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Add turkey, breadcrumbs, and eggs to a large bowl and knead together.
- Mix all dry seasonings together on a plate.
- Roll turkey into large meatballs and roll meatballs it in the seasoning mix. Pat seasonings into the turkey meatballs gently.
- Arrange turkey meatballs in Pyrex pan.
- Cook for 20 minutes, covered.
- Add all “sauce mix” items to a food processor and puree until smooth.
- After cooking 20 minutes, uncover turkey meatballs, drain off most the liquid with a spoon (I leave about 1/4″ liquid in the bottom).
- The turkey meatballs probably shrank some. I push them together closely so that less sauce gets wasted.
- Pour a heavy dollop of cilantro puree over the top of meatball.
- Bake 375 degrees uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Serve.
