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, add meatballs to hot pan and cook until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 10-12 minutes.

  • If using ground pork, add meatballs to hot pan and cook until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 10-15 minutes.

  1. 1

    Form and Cook the Meatballs

    In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine ground turkey, panko, half the Creole seasoning (use less if spice-averse; reserve remaining for rice), 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Form mixture into 20 equally-sized meatballs.

    Place a large pot over medium heat and add 4 tsp. olive oil. Add meatballs to hot pot, cover, and stir occasionally until browned all over and turkey reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 11-13 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer meatballs to a plate. Reserve pot; no need to wipe clean.

    While meatballs cook, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" dice.

    Core tomato and cut into 1/4" dice.

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Return pot used to cook meatballs to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add bell peppers, tomatoes, and white portions of green onions to hot pot. Stir occasionally until vegetables are slightly tender, 4-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Rice and Meatballs

    Add rice, 3 cups water, demi-glace, mirepoix base, remaining Creole seasoning (to taste), and 1/2 tsp. salt to hot pot. Bring to a boil.

    Once boiling, add meatballs and half the green portions of green onions (reserve remaining for garnish). Reduce to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 14-17 minutes.

    Remove from burner.
