Get The Party Started With Creole Turkey MeatballsIf you're having a Mardi Gras party, these Creole Turkey Meatballs are a must have! Even if you don't have a Mardi Gras party you can still make them and your party goers will love them. I usually make these the day before my event. That way I still have time to prepare other dishes, decorate and make plenty of store runs. To serve, just heat them up in a 350 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes. Or you can reheat them on the stovetop. Either way, just be sure to keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
Ingredients MEATBALLS 1 & 1/2 lbs ground turkey 1 egg, lightly beaten 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs 1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped 1/4 cup onion, chopped 1/2 teaspoon celery salt 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper/ground red pepper 2 tablespoons tomato sauce (from can below) SAUCE 2 tablespoons oil 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1-15oz can tomato sauce 2 tablespoons currant jelly 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon cayenne/ground red pepper Instructions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In large bowl, combine ground turkey and all of remaining ingredients; mix well. Using tablespoon, shape ground turkey into meatballs. You should end up with about 45 meatballs. Place in greased baking pan, bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until completely cooked. While meatballs are cooking, heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. With a wire whisk or fork, stir in flour and cook until flour turns a deep brown color. Stir in remaining tomato sauce and remaining sauce ingredients. Bring to a low boil, stirring constantly, let mixture cook about a minute. Add cooked meatballs to sauce, stir gently coating all meatballs. Serve with cocktail picks/toothpicks.
