Sesame-Spiced Turkey Meatballs
Adapted from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by Deb Perelman
1 lb ground turkey
2/3 cup bread crumbs (I used Panko)
1/4 cup water
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
pinch of cayenne
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (way too lazy to toast mine)
1 egg
olive oil
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix all ingredients together and with wet hands form golf-ball sized TurkeyBalls. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. Brown balls in batches to avoid crowing in the pan. Place balls back in frying pan and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
