Chipotle Meatballs with Guacamole
Meatball Ingredients:
 |
| Food Mall: Ground Turkey |
◦1 lb. 94% ground turkey (any ground meat will do)
◦1/4 c almond meal ◦4 T bacon fat or butter (not melted)
◦2 eggs
◦3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
◦1 t + 2 t oregano

Guacamole Ingredients:
◦2 avocados

◦2 t chili garlic sauce
◦S & P
Method:
Preheat the oven to broil.
Place the ground turkey in a large bowl. In the large bowl of your food processor combine the eggs, almond meal, bacon fat or butter, 1 t oregano, 1 chipotle pepper and some S & P. Process until smooth and add to the turkey. Mix with your hands until combined. The mixture will be wet, don’t fret. Form the mixture into balls and place in an oven safe dish. Broil until browned, about 10 minutes.
While the meatballs are browning, add the diced tomatoes, 2 chipotle peppers, chicken stock and 2 t oregano to the same bowl of your food processor and pulse until smooth. Once the meatballs have browned, turn to oven to Bake at 450°F. Add the sauce to your oven safe dish and continue to bake until the sauce has thickened a bit, about 15 more minutes.
Now for the guacamole, place all the ingredients into the smallest bowl of your food processor. Pulse until it’s the consistency you like.
