Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the meatballs
- Cut a small corner from the ground turkey packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
Crack the egg into a medium bowl and lightly beat with a fork until just blended. Add the turkey, season generously with salt and pepper, and mix until just combined. Using wet hands, form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
2
Cook the meatballs; make the Buffalo sauce
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Add more oil between batches if needed.
Return all the meatballs to the pan and add the butter, cayenne pepper sauce, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] water, then remove from the heat. Stir gently until the meatballs are coated with the sauce. While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the lettuce and the slaw.
3
Prep the lettuce; make the carrot slaw
- Trim the root end from the lettuce; remove 6 [12] of the largest outer leaves for the meatballs and save the remaining lettuce for another use.
- Thinly slice the celery.
- Measure 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] red wine vinegar; save the remaining vinegar for another use.
In a medium bowl, toss together the celery, carrots, red wine vinegar, and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the lettuce leaves to individual plates and divide the meatballs and sauce among the leaves. Top with the carrot slaw, drizzle with as much ranch dressing as you like, and serve any remaining dressing on the side.
