Meatballs in Chile Sauce

[omly]

We made these the other night and have been having them as leftover for the last couple of days. They are surprisingly good! Especially the next day.

Meatballs in Chile Sauce (adapted from here)

• 1 pound ground turkey
  
• 1 cup chopped onion
  
• ~1 tsp vegetable oil
  
• 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  
• 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from canned chipotle chiles
  
• 1 (24 oz) jar salsa
  
• 1 cup water
  
• 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
  
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 1 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped (optional)
  
• 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon granules

Saute onions in a oil. Combine turkey, sauteed onion, bread crumbs, eggs, and adobo sauce in large bowl; mix well. Form mixture into 18 meatballs. Combine salsa, water, tomato paste, garlic, chiles and bouillon in large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Place meatballs in sauce; cook, stirring occasionally (minimally at first until the meatballs cook a bit), for 20 to 25 minutes or until meatballs are no longer pink in center. Serve with rice.
