Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 3 stalks celery, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen mango
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 3/4 cup agave
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 habanero peppers, sliced
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.

  2. 2

    Put the turkey in a bowl and add the celery, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. Mix well and scoop into golf ball-size meatballs. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet as you go. Bake until cooked through and browned, 15 to 17 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile make the sauce. Add the mango, barbecue sauce, agave, soy sauce and habanero peppers to a saucepan with 1/2 cup of water and stir. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to thicken slightly and enhance the heat of the peppers. Puree with an immersion blender or use a food processor.

  4. 4

    Toss the meatballs with the sauce until well coated. Place on a serving platter and garnish with the sliced green onions.
