Time 35m

Yield 24 meatballs, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

16 ounces ground turkey
1 cup soft breadcrumbs, use whole wheat
2 tablespoons green peppers, minced
2 tablespoons macadamia nuts, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil cooking spray
1 medium mango, peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 teaspoon lime rind, grated

Steps:

  • For the meatballs, combine the turkey and the next 6 ingredients, mixing well.
  • Shape mixture into 24, 1-inch, meatballs.
  • Arrange on a rack or a roasting pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake at 400°F for 12 minutes or until meatballs are browned.
  • While the meatballs are in the oven, make the sauce by placing the mango in a blender and process until smooth.
  • Combine cornstarch and sugar in a small saucepan and add the pureed mango, water and remaining ingredients.
  • Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. This yields 1 1/2 cups sauce.
  • Serve meatballs in a chafing dish with the sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out great. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's just personal preference.
