Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef or ground pork, follow same instructions as ground turkey.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/2" slices.

    Cut potato into large chunks.

  2. 2

    Make the Potatoes

    Bring a medium pot with potato chunks covered by water to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, 14-18 minutes.

    Reserve 1/4 cup potato cooking water. Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot.

    Add butter, half the onion salt (reserve remaining for meatballs), 1 Tbsp. potato cooking water, and sour cream. Mash until smooth. If dry, add remaining potato cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Stir in green portions of green onions. Cover and set aside.

    While potatoes boil, make meatballs.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, white portions of green onions, Italian panko, cheese, remaining onion salt, and a pinch of pepper. Form turkey mixture into eight evenly-sized meatballs.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add meatballs to hot pan and sear on two sides until browned, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Transfer meatballs to one half of prepared baking sheet. Meatballs will finish cooking in a later step.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Cook Meatballs and Zucchini

    Place zucchini on empty half of baking sheet and toss with 1 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Massage oil and seasoning into zucchini.

    Spread zucchini into a single layer on their side. Roast in hot oven until zucchini is tender and meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 8-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Glaze Meatballs and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to sear meatballs to medium heat. Add chipotle BBQ sauce and 1 Tbsp. water to hot pan. Stir constantly until combined and warm, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Add cooked meatballs and gently stir until coated with sauce.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, serving meatballs on sauce. Bon appétit!
