HONEY CHIPOTLE TURKEY MEATBALLS - inspired by the Queen herself (Martha Stewart)

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey

1/2 onion, diced finely

4 garlic cloves, minced and then smashed

1/2 teaspoon fine salt

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

1 tsp cumin seeds

1/2 tsp crushed coriander seeds

Fresh cilantro - 3 tbsp of minced stems, saving leaves for garnish

2 1/2 tablespoons honey

2 - 3 tablespoons chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, depending on your tolerance for heat

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, mix together turkey, onion, garlic, salt, spices and herbs.
• Combine but do not overmix.
• Form into 16 meatballs.
• In a small bowl, stir together honey, chiles, and vinegar.
• In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer skillet to oven and bake 5 minutes.
• Remove from oven, pour honey mixture over meatballs, and swirl skillet to coat; bake until liquid is reduced and meatballs are glazed, 5 minutes, swirling halfway through.

These meatballs are now ready to join their soulmate: your mouth. However, they can be accompanied by a 3rd wheel like roasted potatoes, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, mashed turnips, rice pilaf...or stuffed into a submarine-style bun as a sandwich. THE WORLD IS YOURS!
