• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground turkey or chicken

½ yellow onion

1 chipotle chile, finely chopped ( (from 7 oz. can)

1 clove garlic, minced or pressed

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil, for frying

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotle chiles

2 tablespoons ketchup

2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Grate Onion

Grate onion into a medium sized bowl. You should have approximately 2 tablespoons of grated onion and juice. If you prefer, the onion can also be finely minced.

Mix Ingredients

Add ground turkey, chopped chipotle chile, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper to bowl and mix, using your hands. Mix until just combined. Form into 19-20 small meatballs.

Brown Meatballs

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer pan to preheated oven and bake for five minutes.

Make Sauce

While meatballs are baking, add sauce ingredients to small bowl, and whisk to combine.

Cook

Remove the pan from the oven and pour sauce mixture over meatballs. Tilt pan so that meatballs are evenly coated. Return to oven and bake until sauce has become glaze-like, about 5 minutes, swirling pan halfway through cooking time.
