Turkey Meatballs With Sage And Cranberries
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- 1 pound ground lean turkey
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs, soaked in 1 ounce skim milk
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/3 cup packed Swiss chard, spinach or arugula, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Parchment paper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 ounces store-bought cranberry chutney (optional)
- Heat a small pan over medium heat; add pine nuts and stir until aromatic and light brown, a few minutes. In a bowl, combine all ingredients from turkey through pepper, being careful not to overmix. Cover and chill for at least 2 1/2 hours. (Chilling will help meatballs keep their shape while cooking.) Heat oven to 400u0b0. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper; brush paper with oil. Roll meat into 1-inch balls; place on baking sheet 1/2 inch apart. Bake until balls are brown and bounce back to the touch, and internal temperature reaches 165u0b0, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove; let rest. Serve warm with chutney, if desired. DO AHEAD:
