Once again I was faced with an abundant surplus of ingredients with only myself to blame. I overbought ground turkey when I was grocery shopping for the Thanksgiving dinner. Instead of being able to lie around being lazy all weekend I was forced to cook again. A few choices ran through my mind but I settled on turkey meatballs with chestnut, sage & bacon.
I lightly floured them before browning them in olive oil. I tried my hand at an ale sauce for kicks. I sweated diced onion in the drippings and deglazed with Chimay Premiere (the red label) and reduced the mix along with chicken stock. I seasoned them sauce with fresh sage, thyme and black pepper although I forgot to add butter at the end. I cooked the meatballs through in the sauce with the top covered.
The turkey meatballs made another comfort driven meal and thank goodness a few friends were able to come over to help out with the eating.
my mouth. drooling.
Mmm…turkey meatballs. I love turkey meatballs and these little guys look great.
seriously…picture number three is food porn. were they moist?
I like that at the top it’s labeled “beer, meats”
doesn’t get much better than that
Looks wonderful!
I’m speechless as always
Ooh, bacon is possibly the solution to my lack of enthusiasm for ground turkey dishes!
This dish looks very tasty!
yum yum yum.
These look so delicious! I love your blog, it really inspires me and tonight I’m going to try a variation on your recipe.
Great job!
