Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large ripe tomato, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
3 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds
2 bay leaves
Meatballs
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup fresh white breadcrumbs
2 eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Slice almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • For sauce:
  • Heat olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, tomato and bell pepper and cook until vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add chicken broth, almonds, and bay leaves and simmer until sauce is thick and chunky, about 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before using.)
  • For meatballs:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Thoroughly combine first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls. Arrange meatballs on heavy large baking sheet. Bake until cooked through and firm to touch, about 12 minutes.
  • Divide meatballs among 4 plates. Spoon sauce over. Garnish with sliced almonds and serve.

These meatballs were not good. They were dry and bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

These meatballs were a little dry for my taste, but the almond crust was a nice touch. I think next time I'll try adding some more moisture to the meatballs.

I've made these meatballs several times and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're easy to make and always come out perfect.

These meatballs were delicious! I used ground chicken instead of turkey and they were still very moist and flavorful. The almond crust added a nice crunch and the sauce was perfect.

I made these meatballs for my family and they loved them! The meatballs were juicy and the almond crust was a nice touch. I will definitely be making these again.
