Tiny Turkey Bites Two Ways to Delicious

Super lean ground turkey is a low calorie ingredient for lots of dishes.  You do need to add something to spice it up though, since by itself it has very little flavor. Served on a lettuce leaf is a nice lunch or snack. These have black pepper, chili flakes and a little sriracha rolled in to them. Then browned and cooked in a pan. These tiny bites take very little time to crisp up nicely and once plated, garnish with some fresh red pepper purée and some sesame seeds.

If you want something a little fancier these tiny bites are delicious topped with some cranberry and pom sauce with a side of smashed mini bite potatoes. Add a little gravy and it's like Thanksgiving. This serving is small. Seven mini meatballs and three mini potatoes but when you add the cranberry pom sauce and the gravy it tastes like a big plate. I had all of these ingredients pre-prepared in the freezer, so all I had to do was heat them up. The potatoes were from my stash in the refrigerator. I make lots of these and they make great snack bites any time of day.

TIP: I used a small dish to smash the potatoes, it gives them a nice uniform size for serving. Also, the tiny bite turkey meatballs are great to have on hand; so when you are prepping, make a bunch of them. Put them in a good quality freezer bag and write the date on it. They make great impromptu hors d'oeuvres that you can dress any way you like.
