Salsa Turkey Meatballs
Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)
1 egg
1 jar (16 ounces) Thick 'n Chunky salsa
2 medium green onions, thinly sliced
Directions
1. Heat oven to 400°F. Mix all ingredients except salsa and green onions. Shape mixture into twenty 1 1/2-inch meatballs.
2. Place in ungreased rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes or until thermometer inserted in center of meatballs reads 165°F.
3. In 2-quart saucepan, place salsa and meatballs. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until salsa and meatballs are hot. Sprinkle with green onions.
Tips:
Bake meatballs (without salsa) in advance, then freeze up to 1 month. Heat salsa to boiling, then stir in frozen meatballs. Simmer uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until meatballs are heated through.
Serve with hot cooked rice and a tossed green salad.
