Hawaiian Meatballs
When fresh pineapple is on sale I love to stock up. This was one of the ways we used fresh pineapple this week.For a cleaner, simpler version I love the meatballs just on their own with fresh pineapples and peppers too!
Ingredients
- 3 lbs ground turkey lean
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs we use gluten free
- 2 eggs
- 1 bunch cilantro chopped
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 2 jalepenos finely chopped
- 4 cups beef stock
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 4 bell peppers cut in large chunks
- 1 fresh pineapple cut into chuncks
- 3 cloves garlic pressed
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix ground turkey, diced onion (I use food processor or chopper to get very finely chopped) , 1 jalapeno, cilantro, beaten eggs, salt and pepper. Mix well. Add panko and mix again.
- Form into meatballs (I use a cookie baller), and cook in large pot over medium high heat. Brown on all sides and cook until just cooked through (about 10 minutes). Cook in batches.
- Mix together in small bowl, broth, soy sauce, garlic, 1 chopped jalapeno, cornstarch, Add to pot and heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Add pineapple, meatballs and peppers. Heat about 5 minutes until flavors cooked through.
