Onion Turkey Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix all of the meatball ingredients except the olive oil together. Form mixture into golfball-sized meatballs.
• Add olive oil to a cast-iron skillet and heat to medium high heat. Sear meatballs on all sides, turning every few minutes, then set aside once finished.
• To make the broth, add a stick of butter to a cast-iron skillet on medium high heat. Then, add onions, olive oil, and salt and pepper to a skillet and cook down for ½ hour, stirring every few minutes.
• Then, add sherry and sugar and cook for another 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
• Increase heat to high, add minced garlic, and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes. Then, add beef broth and reduce heat to a simmer.
• Stir in salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, bay leaves, and gravy master.
• Add meatballs back into the broth and simmer till meatballs reach a minimum temperature of 165°F, stirring occasionally.
• Cover meatballs with gruyere and parmesan and put under broiler till cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs, onion, chives, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes, if using, and mix well. Add turkey and egg and blend with your hands until well mixed. If you've got time, cover mixture and chill for an hour or up to 24 hours. These are easiest to form into balls while very cold. Form into 28 meatballs, each about 1 1/4-inches in diameter.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large sauté pan. When hot, add enough of the meatballs to fit in one layer without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, add another tablespoon of oil to pan and brown another layer of meatballs, transferring them to the plate as they brown. Repeat until all meatballs are browned, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
• When meatballs are all browned, add marinara sauce to pan and bring to a simmer, scraping up the browned bits on the pan bottom. Return meatballs and their juices to pan, shake pan to cover the meatballs with sauce, and lower heat. Partly cover pan and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve hot, drizzled with more olive oil and sprinkled with more cheese, if you like.
