Directions Sophia's Spicy Sriracha Meatballs
Directions
-
Cook onion in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat until onion starts to sweat, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and let soften and brown while you prepare the other ingredients.
Place ground turkey in a large bowl. Add oats, ricotta cheese, eggs, bread crumbs, banana peppers, Parmesan cheese, salsa, sriracha sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined. Add cooked onion last. Let meatball mixture sit to let the flavors marry and texture thicken, about 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a jellyroll pan with aluminum foil, brush a layer of olive oil on top.
Roll ground turkey mixture into balls and arrange on the jellyroll pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
Heat sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add meatballs, stir until covered in sauce. Simmer until flavors intensify, at least 15 minutes.
