While I will continue to make them for you my dear, I thought it is time to leak the secret recipe for all to try.
The Turkey Balls
- Cook 1/2 chopped onion in 1 Tbs butter until transparent.
- In a bowl, mix the cooked onions, crumbs of two slices of white bread, 2 Tbs cream, 1 lb ground turkey, 2 Tbs chopped parsley, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp lemon peel, salt and pepper to taste.
- Knead vigorously until all ingredients are well combined.
- Moisten your hands lightly with cold water and shape into 2 inch balls.
The Poaching
- Boil 5 cups of water with a whole onion, a bay leaf and 1 tsp salt for 15 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and drop the balls in the liquid.
- Simmer, uncovered for 25 minutes.
- Transfer to a warm plate, cover with foil paper and keep aside.
- Melt 4 Tbs butter in a skillet and stir in 4 Tbs flour.
- Add 3 cups of the poaching liquid, bring to boil, whisking constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and add 3 Tbs lemon juice, 1 Tbs capers and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- Stir 2 egg yolks mixed with a 1/4 cup poaching liquid into the sauce. Add 2 Tbs sour cream.
Le Grand Finale
Add the turkey balls to the sauce and simmer, basting from time to time, until they are thoroughly heated. Serve immediately and enjoy. Make lots, they can become addictive!
