Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
  • In a clean bowl, lightly beat the egg. Stir in the Panko, olive oil, 1/2 tsp Garam Masala, garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Add the ground chicken or turkey and stir together until well combined. Form the mixture into meatballs - it will make 16-20 meatballs. Place the meatballs into the baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs is 165 degrees F. 
  • Meanwhile, stir together the crushed tomatoes with the sugar, chili garlic sauce, 1 1/2 tsp of Garam Masala, 1 tsp salt, and cinnamon. Add the butter. Heat the sauce in a sauce pan until it is simmering. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Pour the sauce over the meatballs.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees. Cover the baking dish with foil and heat the sauce and meatballs together for at least 20 minutes, or up to one hour. 
  • Serve the meatballs over rice.
