Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian)
  • 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced (divided)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chipotle peppers, half of the diced onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into 1-inch meatballs.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs carefully and sear until golden brown on all sides (about 5 minutes). Remove from skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining onion and bell pepper; sauté until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in diced tomatoes and chicken broth.
  4. Return meatballs to the skillet; cover and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach at least 165°F/75°C).
  5. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish before serving and garnish with chopped cilantro.
