Eat now or make ahead and freeze for your next off-shore cruise.
Author: GalleyPirate

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Ground turkey (or ground chicken)
  • 1/2 cup Bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 6 Garlic cloves, pressed or minced
  • 2-3 Fresh Scotch Bonnet peppers (AKA Habañeros), minced
  • 6 Scallions, minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tsp Allspice
  • 2+ tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 2 tsp Thyme leaves
  • 2 tsp Coriander (ground)
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400º Mince the garlic, ginger, Scotch Bonnets and scallions. Throw all ingredients into a large bowl and mix with your hands. It's best to wear gloves as the Scotch Bonnets might burn your hands. You can use a big wooden spoon as well.
  • Roll into larger-than-golfball size meatballs and place on a baking sheet. I like to use Reynolds non-stick foil on the pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until browned.

Notes

Make ahead and refrigerate or freeze for your offshore cruise.
