As shared from the kitchen of Once Upon a Plate ~ by Mari
Makes 16 meatballs or about 34 mini-meatballs
8 Servings
(2 large meatballs each = about 149 calories, 7 g fat/2 g sat fat, 17 g protein, 5 g. carb, 0 g fiber)
Meatballs:
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1/2 yellow onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
For sauteeing ~ 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 375˚F
Mix all ingredients, except oil, until combined, don't overmix. Form into 16 meatballs, (for mini-meatballs form into 1-inch balls)
Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large ovenproof skillet; add meatballs and cook until nicely browned on all sides (about 10-12 minutes--reduce time by a few minutes for mini-meatballs.) When cooked transfer skillet to oven and bake 5 minutes.
Glaze:
1 to 2 Tablespoons chopped chipotle in adobo sauce
2 Tablespoons honey
While meatballs are in oven mix both ingredients together in a small bowl.
Remove skillet from oven and pour honey mix over meatballs; swirl pan to coat meatballs and cook briefly over medium heat to slightly reduce glaze, swirl pan again to coat each meatball.
Serve hot or warm. Enjoy!
