Grilled Turkey Meatballs

Paul and I have been in the mood for meatballs lately, and we finally got around to making some last night.  Since it was a last minute decision, we couldn't make our usual crock-pot meatballs. So, we decided to grill some on our stovetop. We were really impressed with how good the grilled ones were and will definitely make these again!


1 1/2 lb. Ground Turkey
1 Egg, beaten
1 Tablespoon Garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon Ground Ginger
1/4 Cup Onion, diced1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs
1 1/2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds
2-3 Tablespoons Sriracha Sauce (Of course Paul and I used 3!) 
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt


*Will make approx. 18-20 meatballs.

Combine all ingredients together and mix well with hands.

Form meatballs with your hands (about 2 tablespoons per meatball).

Spray grill grid with cooking spray and set over medium/high heat.

Grill meatballs until they are cooked through, turning about every 6 minutes.  Will take about 30 minutes total.

Top with sesame seeds, and serve hot.

ENJOY!!

Fake Shake Shack Burger Sauce

Never having been to Shake Shack, I still somehow always heard all about it (usually from Paul).  Every couple months or so Paul will go on about how good Shake Shack is, and that I have to try it.  Since there is not one anywhere close to us, we decided to try and bring it to our kitchen.  Paul handled the burgers, while I tried to master the sauce... a sauce that I have never even tried. Fortunately, it all turned out really well!  If you have been to Shake Shack, I am not guaranteeing that this sauce will taste just like the real thing. However, I can promise that it is delicious.


1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
4 slices kosher dill pickle
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
pinch cayenne pepper

Combine all ingredients in blender, until smooth.

Recommendation: Dip fries in the sauce :) 

ENJOY!!

Goat Cheese & Grape Tomato Crescent

What do do with left over grape tomatoes and goat cheese? Wrap it up! These make for a great appetizer. I used a small package of crescent rolls because I am only cooking for two, but just double the recipe if cooking for more. No disappointment here. Easy, easy, easy.


1 Small Package of Pillsbury Crescent (4 dinner rolls)
4 Grape Tomates, sliced
1 Ounce Goat Cheese
2 Teaspoons of Balsamic Vinaigrette
Cooking Spray


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Unroll crescent rolls onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Place 3 slices of grape tomato and crumbled goat cheese on each crescent.

Top with 1/2 teaspoon of balsamic on each one.

Roll up each crescent and lightly mist with cooking spray.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let cool for just 5 minutes before digging in.

Enjoy!!

Cheddar Garlic Bread

I am a huge fan of garlic cheddar biscuits, so when I found this recipe it was a MUST bake. All I want to do now is make a grilled cheese sandwich using this bread. Can you imagine??


3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
4 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder - if you are a fan of Garlic, use 2 Teaspoons
1/2 Teaspoon Italian Seasonings
1 1/2 Cups Milk (we used 2%)
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Egg

Preheat the oven to 350. 

Combine the flour, baking powder, cheese, sugar, garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning in a bowl.

In a separate bowl combine the milk, oil, and egg. 

Stir into dry ingredients until moistened.

Pour into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. Top with additional 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning. 

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes. 

Remove from pan and slice.

ENJOY!
