Turkey Meatballs in Maple-Bourbon Mustard Sauce

Ingredients

• 0.25 cups onion
• 6 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves garlic , minced
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pound ground turkey

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a baking rack on top, spray the rack with cooking spray, and set aside.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine onion, panko, egg, Worcestershire, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add ground turkey, and gently mix together. Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to gently shape into balls without packing too hard; place on the prepared baking rack.

3. 3

   Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant read thermometer inserted near the center should read 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

4. 4

   Meanwhile, add mustard, maple syrup, bourbon, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and cayenne to a saucepan, and whisk until well combined. Cook over medium-low heat until sauce starts to thicken, 12 to 15 minutes. Add butter, and stir until melted.

5. 5

   Add meatballs to sauce; cook until meatballs are warmed up, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with parsley.
