Moroccan Meatballs

Core 7 Fueled Cookbook by Wendy Paul

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground turkey, beef or chicken
  • or 1 lb. frozen meatballs
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. cardamom
  • 1 tsp. coriander
  • 1 tsp. basil
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 28 oz. crushed tomatoes
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil, or vegetable oil

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Combine gently, not over mixing. Form small meatballs using a cookie scoop or your hand. Place the meatballs in a large skillet, heated on medium, with some oil to brown.

Once the meatballs are browned, add the diced onion, and stir until the onions are tender and the meatballs have browned. Then add the tomatoes, remaining seasonings, cinnamon, cardamom, coriander and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Serve over noodles, rice or on skewers for your next party.
