Ingredients
- 1 med Onion, minced
- 4 x Cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. Vegetable oil
- 1 c. Tomato sauce
- 2 c. Beef broth
- 1/4 c. Chipotles en adobo with sauce
- 2 lb Grnd turkey
- 1/2 c. Onion, finely minced
- 1/4 c. Fresh cilantro, finely minced
- 1/3 c. Breadcrumbs
- 1/3 c. Grnd Salsa Verde Doritos chips
- 1/4 tsp Calvins "Magic" Pwdr, or possibly more
- 1 x Egg, beaten Or possibly
- 1/4 c. Egg substitute Salt and freshly grnd black pepper Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
- To make sauce: Saute/fry the onion and garlic in the oil till they are lightly browned. Add in the tomato sauce, broth, and the chipotles en adobo. Heat the mix to just boiling and simmer for 20 min.
- Place the sauce in a blender or possibly food processor and puree till smooth
- (I used a 2 quart saucepan and used my hand blender instead).
- To make meatballs: Combine the turkey, onion, cilantro, bread crumbs, Dorito crumbs, Calvins pwdr, egg (or possibly egg subs.), and salt and pepper. Gently mix, then form into small meatballs (about 1 inch).
- Pour a couple of tbsp oil in a heavy saucepan and fry the meatballs.
- Cook most of the way and then place in the oven at 350 F for 15 min to finish cooking. Remove and drain.
- Return the sauce to the pan, add in the meatballs to heat everything together and to mingle the flavors.
- To serve: Place in a chafing dish, garnish with cilantro and serve accompanied with toothpicks.
- Yield: 8 servings as an appetizer. I found it made about 42 meatballs just with 1 lb of meat. With 2 it will probably make about 84 meatballs.
- Appetizer Meatballs. Out of 42 meatballs there were only 6 left when I left the warm luck. Must've been good!
