Our farm manager share his recipe for Turkey Meatballs and frankly, they are the best I have EVER tasted! Max Arteaga is a really great cook – makes a terrific Paella and more! Here is one of his best! This is really low in fat – and since the balls are not fried – it reduces the calorie count too! 
Turkey Meatballs with a Twist Ingredients
- 1 lb of ground turkey
- 1/2 cup of raw rice ( rinsed and drained)
- 3 cloves of garlic chopped fine
- 1 Large white sweet onion chopped fine
- 1 sprig of mint – chopped medium fine
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tomato Sauce ( home made or canned pasta sauce)
- Rice steamed cooked in rice cooker – for 4
Directions:
- Mix all the ingredients together except the tomato sauce.
- Make balls out of the mixture
- Then bring the sauce to a boil and put the balls into it – simmer at low heat for 45 minutes or until the balls and the rice in them is cooked ( I always keep one ball for tasting to check on doneness)
- Serve with steamed white basmati or jasmine rice and a green and red salad ( tomatoes, red peppers, radishes and garlic chives on mixed greens with light dressing
