Turkey Albondigas
Ingredients
3 C. cooked turkey, chopped
3 slices bread, sprinkled with 6 or 7 Tbsp. of hot turkey stock
3 eggs
1 or 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (or put through a garlic press)
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
several grindings of black pepper
2 quarts turkey stock or chicken stock
10 oz. frozen kernel corn (1-package)
3/4 C. blanched almonds, finely ground
chopped green chili peppers for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Place the turkey meat in a bowl. Squeeze the excess moisture from the bread and crumble it into the turkey meat. Put the turkey and bread mixture through a meat grinder or a food processor. Add the eggs, garlic, salt, coriander, cumin and black pepper. Mix well. Shape the mixture into walnut-size balls. Bring the turkey stock to a boil. Drop the albondigas into the boiling stock. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the cooked albondigas with a slotted spoon and set aside. Boil the stock for another 30 minutes to reduce and thicken it. Add the corn and the ground almonds. Return the albondigas to the stock. Heat through and serve in bowls garnished with chopped chili peppers, if you wish.
