Honey Chipotle Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1/2 lb hot breakfast sausage
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, (chopped)
• 2 tsp cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, mix together turkey, sausage, garlic, salt, ground pepper, bread crumbs, and egg until combined (do not over-mix).

3. 3

   Form into 16 equal meatballs. (See the image above how I scored the meat to make this step easier.)

4. 4

   In a small bowl, stir together honey, chiles, and vinegar.

5. 5

   In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes.

6. 6

   Transfer skillet to oven and bake 5-7 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove from oven, turn the meatballs and pour the honey mixture over them.

8. 8

   Return skillet to oven and bake until liquid is reduced and meatballs are glazed, about 5-7 minutes, swirling glaze again halfway through.
