These meatballs are a little spicy, but not something most people can't handle. If you want to add a little more spice, add one more chipotle pepper...or 3 more. From Life's Ambrosia.

Time 25m

Yield 20 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped
1 teaspoon adobo sauce, from chipotle pepper can
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
canola oil
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons adobo sauce, from the chipotle pepper can
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs, except canola oil, in a bowl. Mix well. Roll into about 20 meatballs.
  • Heat a thin layer of canola oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry meatballs until browned on all sides. Fry in batches if necessary. Transfer browned meatballs to a baking dish and finish baking in the oven until cooked through. About 10 - 15 minutes.
  • While the meatballs are cooking combine all of the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a bowl. Mix well.
  • Once meatballs are cooked through, place toothpicks in the top (if desired) transfer to a serving platter and serve with dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the meatballs are cooked evenly, make sure they are all about the same size.
  • For a crispy exterior and a tender interior, pan-fry the meatballs until golden brown before finishing them in the oven.
  • Customize the flavor of the meatballs by adding different herbs and spices to the ground turkey mixture. Some popular options include cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chipotle crema, salsa, or barbecue sauce.
  • Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

These chipotle turkey meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or weeknight dinners. With their smoky, spicy flavor and tender texture, these meatballs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
