Baked Turkey Meatballs With Peperonata

Features:
    Cuisine:

    We love meatball sandwiches and wanted something with a bit less fat & calories than beef. We love turkey burger and decided to give a meatball a try. These meatballs are moist and flavorful & the peppers give it a nice zing. We put them on a toasted hamburger bun, but any nice sandwich roll will do nicely.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    For Meatballs:

    2
    Done

    Preheat Oven to 400 F. With Racks in Upper & Lower Thirds.

    3
    Done

    Soak Bread in Milk in a Small Bowl Until Softened, About 4 Minutes.

    4
    Done

    Cook Pancetta, Onion, Garlic in 1 Tablespoon Oil With 1/2 Teaspoon Each of Salt & Pepper in 10" Skillet Over Medium Heat Until Onion Is Softened, About 6 Minutes. Cool Slightly.

    5
    Done

    Squeeze Bread to Remove Excess Milk, Then Discard Milk. Lightly Beat Egg in a Large Bowl, Then Combine Turkey (or Chicken), Pancetta Mixture, Bread, & Parsley.

    6
    Done

    Form (about) 12 Meatballs (depending on the Size You Prefer) & Arrange on a Cookie Sheet, Sprayed With Pam, If You Prefer, but not Necessary. Start from the Middle and Work Your Way Out. I Don't Usually Fill an Entire Pan.

    7
    Done

    Stir Together Tomato Paste & Remaining Tablespoon Oil & Brush Over Meatballs.

    8
    Done

    Bake in Upper Third of Oven Until Meatballs Are Just Cooked Through. About 15-20 Minutes.

    9
    Done

    While Meatballs Are Baking, Heat 1 Tablespoon Oil in Large Skillet Set on Medium-High. Mix Capers, Vinegar, Remaining Oil, & Pepper Flakes in Small Bowl & Set Aside. Add Bell Peppers to Skillet and Cook Until Slightly Charred & Semi-Soft, Tossing Occasionally. About 20 Minutes. Take Off Heat and Toss With Caper Mixture. Let Cool.

    10
    Done

    Once Meatballs Are Done, Place on Toasted Bun & Serve With a Nice Helping of Peppers.

    11
    Done

    Note: I've Found That These Meatballs Work Well as a Sandwich With the Peppers or by Themselves With the Peppers on the Side.
