Recipe - Magic Meatball Appetizer

SAUCE
1 md Onion; chopped
4 Cloves garlic; chopped
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
1 cup Tomato sauce
2 cup Beef broth
One fourth cup Chipotles en adobo with
sauce

MEATBALLS
2 pound Ground turkey
One half cup Onion; finely chopped
One fourth cup Fresh cilantro; finely
chopped
1/3 cup Breadcrumbs
1/3 cup Ground Salsa Verde Doritos
chips
One fourth teaspoon Calvins "Magic" Powder; or
more
1 Egg; beaten OR
One fourth cup Egg substitute
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
Vegetable oil; for frying

To make sauce: Saute the onion and garlic in the oil until they are
lightly browned. Add the tomato sauce, broth, and the chipotles en
adobo. Heat the mixture to just boiling and simmer for 20 minutes.
Place the sauce in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth
(I used a 2 qt saucepan and used my hand blender instead).

To make meatballs: Combine the turkey, onion, cilantro, bread crumbs,
Dorito crumbs, Calvins powder, egg (or egg subs.), and salt and
pepper. Gently mix, then form into small meatballs (about 1 inch).
Pour a couple of tbsp oil in a heavy saucepan and fry the meatballs.
Cook most of the way and then place in the oven at 350°F for 15
minutes to finish cooking. Remove and drain.

Return the sauce to the pan, add the meatballs to heat everything
together and to mingle the flavors.

To serve: Place in a chafing dish, garnish with cilantro and serve
accompanied with toothpicks.
