Paleo Recipe - Chipotle Meatballs and Guac

This was a recipe success and was super easy to make!  I had it with a salad, you could serve it over cauliflower rice, with grilled veggies, with anything you want!  I definitely recommend this although it is a bit spicy, you could only use one pepper in the sauce which would make it not so spicy.

Also, I recommend putting the meatballs on an edged cookie sheet/baking pan for the broiling part.  This way you don't need to worry about ruining any dishes (I learned that pyrex cannot go under a broiler, neither can corningware).  Once the meatballs are done broiling, place them in over safe bowl so you can pour the sauce in.  It filled up my corningware dish so you'll want a decent sized one.  Enjoy!

Chipotle Meatballs and Guac

Meatball Ingredients 

• 1 lb. 94% ground turkey (any ground meat will do)
• 1/4 c almond meal
• 4 T bacon fat or butter (not melted)
• 2 eggs
• 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 t + 2 t oregano
• 1 c chicken stock
• 15 oz. diced tomatoes
• S & P

Guacamole Ingredients 

• 2 avocados
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 t chili garlic sauce
• S & P

Method
Preheat the oven to broil.
Place the ground turkey in a large bowl. In the large bowl of your food processor combine the eggs, almond meal, bacon fat or butter, 1 t oregano, 1 chipotle pepper and some S & P. Process until smooth and add to the turkey. Mix with your hands until combined. The mixture will be wet, don’t fret. Form the mixture into balls and place in an oven safe dish. Broil until browned, about 10 minutes.

While the meatballs are browning, add the diced tomatoes, 2 chipotle peppers, chicken stock and 2 t oregano to the same bowl of your food processor and pulse until smooth. Once the meatballs have browned, turn to oven to Bake at 450°F. Add the sauce to your oven safe dish and continue to bake until the sauce has thickened a bit, about 15 more minutes.

Now for the guacamole, place all the ingredients into the smallest bowl of your food processor. Pulse until it’s the consistency you like.
