Time 55m

Yield About 14 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 hatch chile
1 poblano chile
1 serrano chile
1 Anaheim pepper
1 cup milk
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 pounds ground turkey, half white meat and half dark meat
1 cup minced sweet onion
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Over an open flame, roast the hatch, poblano, serrano and Anaheim chile peppers. Roast until the skins are charred and black all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chiles from the flame and immediately place in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside and allow to steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Once the peppers have cooled, scrape away and discard the charred skin, then remove the stems and seeds. Finely dice the flesh and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the milk and panko and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, onion, parsley, garlic, eggs, cumin, salt, black pepper, cayenne, panko-milk mixture and diced peppers. Mix all the ingredients together. Using your hands, shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, about 3 ounces each. Evenly space the meatballs on a baking sheet and place into the oven. Bake until firm and browned, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Place the meatballs on a large platter, garnish with cilantro and serve.
