CHELLE'S FAMOUS TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey and eggs until thoroughly mixed.
• 2. Add seasonings to suit your taste. I tend to be fairly heavy handed,especially with garlic and black pepper. ;) Mix completely.
• 3. Add cheese and bread crumbs. *If mixture is still too moist, feel free to add more bread crumbs until desired consistency is achieved.
• 4. Roll into large, walnut sized balls and set aside.
• 5. To fry: In a large skillet, warm 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Cook meatballs until golden brown, turning so that each side is browned. (Hint- a screen is helpful since the oil may pop and splatter like bacon).
• 6. To bake: Place meatballs on a foiled or lightly sprayed pan and bake in oven at 360 degrees for 30-35 min (oven times may vary).
• 7. Serving tip: My family likes these plain, with Contadina sweet and sour sauce (doctored up) on brown rice, in a marinara over your favorite pasta, slice in half on French rolls with marinara and cheese for a great meatball sandwich, in Swedish meatballs, in a BBQ sauce or anything for a party, you name it! They do freeze well too. Enjoy! ;).

THE BEST TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle the olive oil and canola oil in an even layer over the paper.
• Pour the breadcrumbs into a large mixing bowl, pour the milk over top and stir to fully moisten the breadcrumbs. Add the remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix with your hands just until combined.
• Scoop 1/4-cupfuls of meatball mixture and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet; you should have 12 meatballs. Gently roll them into balls. Bake until bottoms are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and continue to bake for 15 to 20 minutes more until the meatballs are cooked through.

TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH FIRE-ROASTED GREEN CHILES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Over an open flame, roast the hatch, poblano, serrano and Anaheim chile peppers. Roast until the skins are charred and black all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chiles from the flame and immediately place in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside and allow to steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Once the peppers have cooled, scrape away and discard the charred skin, then remove the stems and seeds. Finely dice the flesh and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the milk and panko and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, onion, parsley, garlic, eggs, cumin, salt, black pepper, cayenne, panko-milk mixture and diced peppers. Mix all the ingredients together. Using your hands, shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, about 3 ounces each. Evenly space the meatballs on a baking sheet and place into the oven. Bake until firm and browned, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Place the meatballs on a large platter, garnish with cilantro and 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.
