Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Equipment: Ovenproof skillet, oven, mixing bowl
Servings: 4 to 6
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Start by mincing your onion and garlic as finely as possible. With a sharp knife, carefully mince the half onion until you have about a half-cup. Then, mince the two cloves of garlic.
3. In a large bowl, combine the minced onion and garlic with the ground turkey. Add the kosher salt and black pepper. Mix everything together gently to avoid overmixing, which can make your meatballs tough.
4. Heat a thin layer of oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Form the turkey mixture into meatballs, using a scoop or your hands, and place them in the skillet. If necessary, work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
6. Cook the meatballs until browned on all sides. Ensure that they form a crust, which will allow them to turn easily without sticking.
7. Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes.
8. While the meatballs are in the oven, prepare the glaze by mixing the honey, minced chipotle in adobo sauce, and cider vinegar in a bowl.
9. After the meatballs have cooked for 5 minutes, remove them from the oven and pour the chipotle honey mixture over them. Toss the meatballs in the glaze to coat them thoroughly.
10. Return the skillet to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the glaze has set.
11. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and serve the Honey Chipotle Turkey Meatballs with your choice of accompaniment.
Cooking Tips:
- Grating the onion can help it incorporate better into the meatballs, but be aware it may cause more tears.
- Make sure your knife is sharp to make the prep work easier and safer.
- Don’t rush the browning process – it’s key for flavor and texture.
- Keep an eye on the glaze in the final minutes to prevent burning.
