Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of ground turkey
  • A cup of finely crushed tortilla chips
  • A single egg
  • Two cups of Dannon Oikos Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt
  • Half a cup of chopped cilantro
  • A portion of prepared picante sauce or salsa, divided
  • A cup of thawed frozen corn kernels
  • A cup of black beans
  • A teaspoon of cumin
  • A teaspoon of divided ground chipotle chili powder

Step 1

Combine a delightful blend of yogurt, zesty salsa, aromatic cumin, and spicy chipotle chili powder in a mixing bowl. Remember to set aside a portion of 1 1/2 cups in the fridge for later use.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, blend together ground turkey, crushed chips, a whisked egg, the rest of the seasoned yogurt mixture, fresh cilantro, sweet corn, and tender black beans. Using a small scoop or spoon, form delectable tablespoon-sized balls and carefully arrange them on a lightly oiled shallow baking sheet. Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven set at 400 degrees F for approximately 20-25 minutes until they achieve a lovely golden-brown color.

Step 3

To serve, present the flavorful meatballs on a bed of crisp shredded lettuce and offer the reserved sauce as a tantalizing dipping option. Enjoy this scrumptious dish with loved ones!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your pantry stocked with a variety of spices like cumin, chili powder, and oregano to easily whip up that perfect Southwestern flavor anytime.
  2. 2. Invest in a set of airtight containers to store your cooked meatballs in the fridge, ensuring their freshness and flavor is locked in.
