Meatballs

• Olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 cup bread crumbs (I used leftover Rugbrød)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• Salt and pepper

In a medium bowl mix the turkey with all other ingredients. In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add meatballs and allow them to brown for about 3 minutes. Turn meatballs and brown other side.

Guava sauce

• 2 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 cup diced guava paste or bocadillo
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1/4 cup orange juice

Place the butter in a sauce pan and sauté onion and garlic for about 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for about 5 minutes or until guava paste dissolves, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Drizzle over meatballs.
