Baked Turkey Meatballs With Peperonata

• 3 slices Italian bread, torn into pieces (1 cup)
• 13 cup milk
• 3 ounces sliced pancetta, finely chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 large egg
• 1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb chicken
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 12 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• 12 teaspoon chicago seasoning (optional)
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• salt & pepper
• 2 large red bell peppers, cut into strips
• 1 12 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 12 tablespoons drained capers
• 1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
• 18 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (optional)

1. For Meatballs:.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. with racks in upper & lower thirds.
3. Soak bread in milk in a small bowl until softened, about 4 minutes.
4. Cook pancetta, onion, garlic in 1 tablespoon oil with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt & pepper in 10" skillet over medium heat until onion is softened, about 6 minutes.
5. Cool slightly.
6. Squeeze bread to remove excess milk, then discard milk.
7. Lightly beat egg in a large bowl, then combine turkey (or chicken), pancetta mixture, bread, & parsley.
8. Form (about) 12 meatballs (depending on the size you prefer) & arrange on a cookie sheet, sprayed with Pam, if you prefer, but not necessary.
9. Start from the middle and work your way out.
10. I don't usually fill an entire pan.
11. Stir together tomato paste & remaining tablespoon oil & brush over meatballs.
12. Bake in upper third of oven until meatballs are just cooked through.
13. About 15-20 minutes.
14. While meatballs are baking, heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet set on medium-high.
15. Mix capers, vinegar, remaining oil, & pepper flakes in small bowl & set aside.
16. Add bell peppers to skillet and cook until slightly charred & semi-soft, tossing occasionally.
17. About 20 minutes.
18. Take off heat and toss with caper mixture.
19. Let cool.
20. Once meatballs are done, place on toasted bun & serve with a nice helping of peppers.
21. NOTE: I've found that these meatballs work well as a sandwich with the peppers or by themselves with the peppers on the side.
