Ingredients
Sweet and Sour Sauce:
1 (20-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup peach preserves
1 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 orange, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Neely Dry Rub
Meatballs:
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 shallot, minced
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the sweet and sour sauce: Mix the tomato sauce, peach preserves, chili sauce, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and Neely Dry Rub in a medium saucepan. Simmer while you prepare the meatballs.
- For the meatballs: Combine the turkey, shallot, panko, Parmesan, egg, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper together in a large bowl and mix well. Shape the mixture into the size of walnuts and place in a single layer in a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish.
