Fast Foods Friday: Raspberry Chipotle Turkey Meatballs

Friday’s here!! Yay!! This week has been one of “those” weeks and a Friday has never tasted so sweet. Partially because we have delicious fast foods to feature today and what better way to honor a weekend than with a yummy meal! I first found a similar recipe on the infamous Pinterest and have adapted to make faster and easier. I love how quick and easy these are but make you feel like a rockstar cook! All you need for the Raspberry Chipotle Turkey Meatballs is 4 ingredients and about 30 minutes total for them to cook! I use the extra lean ground turkey, but you can use whatever you like!

1 lb   Lean Ground Turkey
1 tsp Minced Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
Raspberry Chipotle Sauce (I use the Fischer & Wieser kind from Costco but have found different brands at Target and Wal Mart that have worked great!)
Optional: Fresh or dehydrated onion.

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put all ingredients EXCEPT sauce in bowl and mix. I use my hands to mix it – kind of gross but works great!
2. Form into 1-2 inch balls, should make 10-12 meatballs. Put in cooking-sprayed pan (I generally spray additional cooking spray on during the process to make sure the meatballs don’t fall apart as they are browning.)
3. Brown on all sides for 10-12 minutes.
4. Transfer to oven and bake for 5 minutes, remove, add sauce and make sure each meatball is coated, return to oven for 5 more minutes.
5. Remove and enjoy! Serve with rice and veggies, or roasted potatoes and asparagus, or you could even put it on a sandwich with some provolone cheese! The possibilities are endless!
6. Time Saving Tip: Most times I’ll double the recipe and freeze half of the raw meatballs and cook again in a few weeks!

Happy cooking!!
