About

I feel like ground turkey thighs don’t get enough love; they are so juicy and make the perfect meatballs, especially when loaded with crunchy pepitas and spices. Eating shishito peppers is like playing culinary Russian roulette. One out of ten is spicy. You just never know when it’s going to hit you!

Ingredients

For the shishito peppers

12 ounces shishito peppers
1 lime
Kosher salt and fresh pepper

Method

For the meatballs, add the ground turkey to a large bowl along with the ancho chili, cumin, cayenne, thyme, pepitas, cilantro, 1½ teaspoons salt, and a few cracks of pepper. Mix until just combined and then dip your hands into water (which prevents the meat from sticking to your hands) and form meatballs that are slightly larger than a golf ball. This recipe should make fifteen balls. St
