Bacon Serrano Turkey Meatballs:
Who doesn't love a mouthwatering hamburger with bacon and serrano peppers? But why limit yourself to just burgers? Imagine the same delicious flavors in a perfectly crafted meatball. These meatballs are great served at dinner parties, game day gatherings, or as a scrumptious appetizer. Give your taste buds the treat they deserve with these delectable meatballs.
Turkey Meatballs - What else do you make when you:
- Didn't plan on a snowstorm (most snow we have gotten all year!)
- Have had someone with the flu in the house all week
- Just don't feel like going to the grocery store at rush hour....AND...
- Only have Turkey, Bacon Bits, Gin, Limes, Onions, a box of Mac and Cheese, and some fresh Spinach.
Unfortunately, we didn't use the gin and limes mostly because we didn't have any tonic in the house! So, in true "cooking MacGyver" style, we whipped up this little meatball gem! It ended up being absolutely amazing, too! And SPICY!!!
Spicy Turkey Meatballs!!!
We love making meatballs that are packed with delicious flavor and juiciness. These treats can make you feel like you're indulging in a cheat meal, but the best part is that you're not breaking your diet!
Since these Bacon Serrano Turkey Meatballs use 99% fat-free turkey, any added spices and flavors really stand out, similar to our Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs.
There's something really satisfying about trying out different flavor combinations and crafting a mouth-watering, small-sized meatball.
Experiment with Flavor
As I mentioned, we came up with this quirky turkey meatball dinner on the fly, and it really worked! We did stand in the kitchen together, kind of brainstorming...It probably sounded something like: "Ok, here is what we have .... "Nope, can't make that, no feta cheese," Nope, can't have a Pizza, no Pizza dough or Cheese...."No, you shouldn't have a Gin and Tonic; you have been sick all week."..."Yes, I'm having a Gin and Tonic BECAUSE you've been sick all week!" (It turns out there was NO tonic). There was also a lot of ummm, I don't feel like eating that.. remember, I've been sick.
After we narrowed that down, we used some of the flavors we LOVE and developed this flavorful, bacon-y, spicy meatball.
The Meatballs were delicious with a Tablespoon of Lite Ranch Dip. We have found setting up a Mashed potato bar for a party is a lot of fun and goes great with meatballs.
Turns out it was a great dinner and very low in calories. Well, except for the Mac and Cheese!
Other fun meatball recipes are Thai Turkey Meatballs, Spinach and Feta, Spicy Bacon Serrano, Bacon Cheeseburger, Fireball Meatballs, Juicy Turkey Feta Meatballs, Buffalo chicken meatballs, and Meatballs without the guilt. They are all full of flavor and have a great spice.
