This is a relatively large batch of meatballs, but they freeze well. In our family, we have people who love red meat above all else, but these meatballs are also their preference. For the Swedish Midsummer celebration, I usually make three batches of meatballs, and they disappear quickly.
You will need
2.2 lbs. minced turkey
0.42 cups of panko
0.63–0.84 cups heavy cream
2–3 green chilies (Serrano or Jalapeño), finely chopped with or without seeds depending on desired heat
10 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large banana shallot, finely grated
1.05 cups of flavorful cheese (e.g., aged cheddar), finely grated
0.63 cups of Heinz chili sauce (ketchup type)
0.21 cups of HP sauce
1 ½ tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp of old bay seasoning
1 egg
4 tbsp of potato starch
1 tsp of baking powder
0.42 cups of fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 bunch of fresh oregano or thyme, chopped
Plenty of freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp of sea salt
Butter and canola oil for sautéing
2.65 oz of butter for the oven baking sheet
How to make it
1. Mix panko and cream and let it swell for a while. If the mixture is too firm, add more cream so that it can be mixed with the minced turkey without the breadcrumbs clumping. Let it stand for five minutes.

3. Prepare all ingredients that need to be chopped and grated and put them in the bowl with the minced turkey.
2–3 green chilies (Serrano or Jalapeño), finely chopped with or without seeds depending on desired heat
10 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large banana shallot, finely grated
1.05 cups of flavorful cheese (e.g., aged cheddar), finely grated
0.42 cups of fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 bunch of fresh oregano or thyme, chopped
4. Add all other ingredients except butter and oil and mix well. Let the mixture stand cold in the fridge for a few hours.

0.21 cups of HP sauce
1 ½ tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp of old bay seasoning
1 egg
4 tbsp of potato starch
1 tsp of baking powder
Plenty of freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp of sea salt
5. Heat the oven to 260-300 ˚F.
6. Put out dollops with ½ - 1 tbsp of mixture on a tray lined with baking paper. Wet your hands and roll small meatballs. Let the meatballs rest in the fridge for a few hours so that they better keep their shape during cooking.
7. Place a baking sheet with butter in the oven so that the baking sheet has time to heat up and the butter fully melt.

8. In a non-stick frying pan – add butter and canola oil and let the frying pan get hot. When the butter has stopped sizzling, put in the meatballs and brown them on relatively high heat all around. When they have a nice color, put them on a tray that you have heated up in the oven with melted butter. Cook the meatballs in the middle of the oven for about 30–40 minutes.
