Turkey Curry Meatballs

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons curry
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 egg (optional, i did not use one)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 yellow onion

Recipe

• 1 combine all the spices in a small bowl.
• 2 dice and saute onion with half the spice mixture, wait about three to five minutes (until onion is translucent)
• 3 combine remaining ingredients (turkey, onion, bread crumbs, remaining spice mixture, and egg) in a large bowl
• 4 form balls from mixture, the size depends on your preference but i made them slightly smaller than a typical meatball.
• 5 heat up frying pan, add olive oil, and throw in 8 meatballs.
• 6 brown on all sides, keep a low heat otherwise the outside will burn and the inside won't cook. i made them in the frying pan only, but you could probably brown them slightly and throw them in the oven at 350 for ten or so minutes.
• 7 the balls should be ready in about ten minutes, slice one open to check before removing the rest.
• 8 i tried making a gravy, but since turkey is low in fat there wasn't much sauce/fat left in the pan -- and it doesn't really work with the curry flavor. instead i made a simple hummus to dip the meatballs inches.
