Easy Udon Soup With Turkey Meatballs Recipes

EASY UDON SOUP WITH TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine the cilantro, shallot, garlic, mushrooms, soy sauce, yuzu juice, sesame oil, chili oil, and pulse until finely minced.
• Place the turkey in a bowl and season all over with salt and pepper. Add the egg and mix with your hands until incorporated. Pour the cilantro mixture into the bowl and mix until combined.
• Add the panko to the bowl and mix until just combined. Do not over-work the mixture!
• Heat a splash of oil in the wide pot and drop a teaspoon of the turkey mixture in the pot and fry until cooked through. Taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary.
• Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wide pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in an even layer, cooking in batches until browned all over. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent them from burning. The meatballs do not need to be cooked through! Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• If the pot seems dry, add another splash of oil and return the heat to medium-high. Add the king trumpet slices, scored side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes without moving until golden brown. Flip and cook 3-4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with salt. Keep the heat on medium.
• Add the shallot to the pot and stir regularly for 3 minutes until just softened. Pour in the dashi broth. Add the soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, and mirin. Bring to a low boil and then reduce heat.
• Add the meatballs to the broth and simmer for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. Taste and season the broth to your preferences.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the udon according to package instructions. Drain and rinse and set aside.
• Divide the cooked udon between bowls and place a few fried mushrooms on top. Ladle the hot broth and meatballs on top. Garnish with cilantro leaves and shichimi-togarashi. Enjoy!

MAMA IULIUCCI'S FAMOUS MEAT-A-BALLS (ITALIAN MEATBALLS)

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients gently in a large bowl until well combined.
• Roll meatballs 1 1/2- 1 3/4" in diameter.
• Heat about 1/4" of oil over medium heat in a large frying pan.
• Fry meatballs in oil, rolling frequently, until evenly browned and juices run clear.
• Drop meatballs in your favorite sauce (I highly recommend My Mama Iuliucci's"Don't Skip a Step" Spaghetti Sauce recipe#26947) and let simmer for awhile to flavor sauce or just serve with your favorite pasta and sauce.
• Tip: You can also bake or broil these if the frying part is too much of a hassle-- I use my broiler pan if I bake them, so the fat drips down and away from the meatballs.
