Went for a healthy alternative to beef meatballs. Decided go ‘Turkey’. To boost the taste of the bland one, I included the following spices and ingredients:
Basil (dried)
Oregano (dried)
Parsley (fresh)
Thyme (fresh)
Onions (diced)
Garlic (crushed)
Celery (finely chopped)
Carrot (finely chopped)
Bell pepper (finely chopped)
Grape tomatoes (chopped)
Soy sauce
Red wine vinegar
Olive oil
Salt/black pepper
Sugar(sprinkle)
Scallion
Tried to keep a fine balance. Thus, I forego frying the balls and decided to bake at a temperature of 400 degrees fahrenheit for approximately 20 minutes. With a drizzle of olive oil, my balls were ready for a preheated oven.
TURKEY BALLS READY FOR OVEN
On the side, a slightly sweet and sour sauce simmered.
SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE FOR TURKEY BALLS
The turkey balls soaked up all the sticky and delicious flavors of the slightly sweet and sour sauce. The result was super-moist turkey balls that made my taste-buds jumped for joy.
I'm originally from the beautiful island of Jamaica. In Jamaica, we always find a reason to celebrate. And, when there's a celebration, there is music, fun and of course, food, great food.
Presently, I reside in So. Florida.Living here in Florida offers varied cultures, people of different ethnic backgrounds.
I've a great passion for the culinary side of life. Therefore, being in So. Fl., provides me the great accessibility of fresh seafood, fruits and vegetables. Moreover, I've the choice to indulge in a amazing foods from different cuisines.This ability provides great inspiration for me to retreat to my humble kitchenette and replicate these dishes.It warms my heart to be able to break bread with loved ones.
I'm an avid reader and love to get lost between these beautiful words. I find reading to be a social activity because it allows me a peek inside other people's minds which in turn makes me more empathetic towards others. One day in the near future, I hope to publish my very own words in the area of poetry as well as my other love, food.
Yoga and speed walking are just a few of the things that keep me balanced and centered. I love family and friends; and, of course, wholesome foods with a glass of cocktail. Life is what you make of it. And, I try to savor and enjoy the simple and precious moments.
