Turkey and Roasted Corn Meatballs
One of my favorite dishes is Turkey and Roasted Corn Meatballs in a roasted pepper sauce. They are easy to make, bright, and delicious. They also make a great working lunch when they’re served over a bed of greens. The red pepper sauce can also be used as a dressing for salads.
These can be made smaller and served as an appetizer, with the sauce dipping on the side. They’ll give you some summer flavor as you wait.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. Have a great dinner!
These Moorish meatballs disappear as soon as they’re put in front of the family.
