Vegetable Ribbon Meatballs Preparation

Augment your Far East platter with teriyaki meatballs wrapped in thin vegetable ribbons. Using a sharp vegetable peeler, slice zucchini and squash lengthwise into wide flat ribbons; set aside. Remove top and seeds from red pepper, cut into 3/4 to 1 wide strips; trim flesh to make strips about 1/8 thick. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine turkey, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, basil, salt and ground red pepper. Shape into 1 balls and arrange in a shallow baking pan. Brush meatballs with half of the hoisin sauce. Bake at 350F 20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Cool 15 minutes. In a saucepan cook zucchini, squash and red pepper, uncovered, in boiling water 2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain well. Wrap each meatball with a ribbon of vegetable; secure with toothpicks. Place wrapped meatballs on a clean ungreased baking sheet; brush with remaining hoisin sauce. Return to 350F oven; bake 10 minutes. Makes 40 meatballs. Better Homes and Gardens, Good things in small packages , January 1998. Recipe by: Better Homes and Gardens, January 1998, Page 130.
