  • 1 cup breadcrumbs moistened in milk then squeezed of excess liquid
  • 1 egg, beaten

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°F.
 
Combine turkey with seasonings and garlic, onion, Worcestershire, chorizo, cheese, breadcrumbs, egg and olive oil. Roll large, walnut-sized balls and bake on parchment-lined baking sheets until just cooked through, about 17-20 minutes.

 
Heat salsa and stock together, and stir in crème or crema. Slide in meatballs and keep warm in a pot over low heat or in a slow cooker.
 
Serves with warm, charred corn tortillas and/or slider-sized rolls or chunks of halved baguette and toppings.
