Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1/4 cup grated yellow onion
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce, I use Cholula
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups red enchilada sauce, I used two packages of this
• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• Sliced green onions and cilantro for toppings (optional)

Directions

• Preheat oven to broil.
• In a large bowl whisk together the onion, panko, egg, cilantro, hot sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
• Add in the ground turkey and use your hands to combine everything together, making sure not to overwork the meat.
• Use a cookie scoop or measuring spoon to form tablespoon sized meatballs and place them on a plate.
• Heat a 12 inch cast iron skillet or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Coat the bottom of the skillet with oil or cooking spray (generously if using cooking spray).
• Place the meatballs in a single layer in the skillet and cook for approximately 3 minutes on one side, then flip them over and cook for another 3 minutes or until no longer pink inside.
• Lower the heat to medium-low then pour the enchilada sauce all over the meatballs.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the meatballs then place in the oven to broil until the cheese is melted.
• Remove from the oven and top with sliced green onions and cilantro if desired.
• Serve immediately.
