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.

I'm not a big fan of almonds, but I really enjoyed these meatballs. The almonds added a nice crunch and the spices were perfect.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would add more liquid to the mixture next time.

These turkey meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used a food processor to chop the almonds and it made the process even faster. I also added a little bit of garlic powder and onion powder to the mixture for extra flavor.
