Sophia's Spicy Sriracha Meatballs image

Inspired by a more traditional recipe, I wanted to create an even more moist and spicy sriracha meatball. So easy to make, and great if you like food with a little kick. Many people wouldn't think to put in the oats, but I would almost say they are the secret ingredient. It's my new favorite, and I hope you enjoy it! Spoon meatballs and sauce over spaghetti.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 red onion, diced
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup ricotta cheese
2 medium eggs
½ cup bread crumbs
¼ cup pickled banana peppers, diced
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons medium chunky salsa
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Cook onion in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat until onion starts to sweat, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and let soften and brown while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Place ground turkey in a large bowl. Add oats, ricotta cheese, eggs, bread crumbs, banana peppers, Parmesan cheese, salsa, sriracha sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined. Add cooked onion last. Let meatball mixture sit to let the flavors marry and texture thicken, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a jellyroll pan with aluminum foil; brush a layer of olive oil on top.
  • Roll ground turkey mixture into balls and arrange on the jellyroll pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Heat sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add meatballs; stir until covered in sauce. Simmer until flavors intensify, at least 15 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these meatballs were not too spicy for me. They were actually quite mild.
