Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
8 ounces ground dark turkey meat
8 ounces spicy Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed
3/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons packed golden brown sugar
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black
Zest of 1 small lemon
2 to 3 large mangoes, peeled, pitted and cut into thirty six 3/4-inch cubes
Thirty six 1-inch pieces torn radicchio leaves

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, basil, parsley, milk, tomato paste, garlic, salt, pepper, egg, garlic and onions. Using a wooden spoon, stir to blend. Add the ground turkey and sausage meat. Using fingers, gently mix all the ingredients until thoroughly combined. Using a tablespoon measure, form the meat mixture into 1 to 1 1/4-inch balls (about 36 meatballs).
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until well browned on all sides and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • For the sauce: In a food processor or blender, blend together the raspberries, ketchup, jam, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, pepper and lemon zest until smooth. Pour the sauce into a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until slightly thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and cool for 10 minutes. Pour into a small serving bowl.
  • Thread 1 meatball, 1 mango cube and 1 piece of radicchio leaf onto each skewer. Arrange the meatballs on a platter and serve the barbecue sauce alongside for dipping.

MINI TURKEY MEATLOAVES

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 1/2 cups regular oats
1 cup whole milk
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
4 slices bacon, cut into very small bits
3 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup ketchup, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat 18 standard muffin cups (from two 12-cup muffin pans) with cooking spray.
  • Put the oats in a small bowl and slowly pour the milk over them. Stir to make sure the oats are all coated and then let them sit for a few minutes.
  • Put the turkey and bacon in a separate large bowl and add the oats and any extra milk from the bowl to it. Add the parsley, seasoned salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup of the ketchup. Use your hands to mix it all together. Place a 1/4-cup scoop of the mixture in each greased muffin cup. Squirt about 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining ketchup on top of each meatloaf. Use a spoon to smear the ketchup evenly over the top, then use it to nudge the edges of the meatloaves away from the pan a bit (this just neatens them up a little).
  • Bake for 25 minutes, then carefully squirt another 1/2 teaspoon of ketchup on top of each, spreading it carefully with a spoon to cover as much of the surface as possible. Continue to bake until completely cooked through and sizzling around the edges, about another 30 minutes. If there are any large areas without ketchup, go ahead and squirt/spread more as needed.
  • Sprinkle the meatloaves with parsley, then let them sit in the pan for 5 to 7 minutes before serving. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the loaves to loosen them if they stick. Serve them warm with a veggie on the side
