  2. Add 1 pound lean ground turkey , 1 teaspoon salt, ½ cup panko bread crumbs, 1 large egg, ½ cup grated onion, 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon finely minced chipotle pepper in adobo to a large bowl. Use your hands to mix everything until fully combined.

While the meatballs bake, prepare the sauce by adding 2 teaspoons finely minced chipotle pepper in adobo, 1 ½ tablespoons adobo sauce e, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic, and ½ cup of the ½ cup + 2 teaspoons chicken stock to a small saucepan.

  5. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons of chicken stock with 1 teaspoon cornstarch to make a slurry. Add it to the sauce and whisk to combine. Continue to dimmer for about 2 minutes until thickened before turning off the heat.
  6. Toss the cooked meatballs with the sauce before serving warm.
