Indian Turkey Meatballs Directions

  1. Place the tomatoes in a large bowl and crush with your hands. I like this part. I’m weird.
  2. Transfer the crushed tomatoes to a large pot and add the onion halves, garlic, butter and oregano. Let simmer on low for about 45 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, cook your rice in a rice cooker or stovetop method, whichever you prefer!
  4. In a large bowl, place the turkey, garlic, shallot, parsley, garam masala, turmeric, egg, and parmesan cheese. Add the bread mix and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Combine with your hands. Form 1-inch balls and place them on a tray or plate until you’re ready to cook. 
  5. Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium high. Add the meatballs and sear on both sides until you get some good browning. Once browned, transfer the meatballs to the sauce to finish cooking, about 15 minutes. Fish out the onion halves to make room. Give a pinch of salt to the sauce at the very end.
  6. Serve the meatballs with marinara over rice, with pieces of torn garlic naan. Garnish with parsley and eat this mess already.
