Book Review: Curry Spiced Turkey Meatballs
Summary: 5 Stars

If you buy this book definitely try the Curry Spiced Turkey Meatballs. They were so easy to put together and the mango chutney glaze is so delicious. That is, it was easy after I rewrote the instructions and organized the ingredient list. At first reading through the directions I could tell this was not going to be fun to try to follow. Use half of this, half of that. It was much simpler to write down all the ingredients that were going into the meatballs and then I wrote down a separate list for the sauce. Here is my modified recipe that is much simpler:

Mix Together
1 package lean ground turkey
? onion, grated
2 T chopped fresh parsley
? t ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (my addition as there was no salt in the recipe)

Fry meatballs until done then remove from pan.

2 T butter - melt in pan
? an onion, chopped - add and fry
2 T flour - sprinkle in and stir

1 cup chicken stock (1 cup water with 1 t chicken base) - add and stir until thickened
? cup mango chutney - add in and stir a few minutes

Serve with rice

Rachel's recipe has too many onions, the addition of a serrano pepper, frozen peas and cilantro leaves. All unnecessary and make the recipe more complex than it needs to be.
I also didn't like the idea of lemon rice so I made regular rice - much less work too.

So basically on a lot of recipes you might want to write out your own instructions and lists of ingredients in the order they are actually used. I find that to be much more helpful than trying to understand complex instructions when I'm in the middle of cooking. Now that I've tried my first Rachael Ray recipe I'm more interested in attempting more. It took three books to find just one recipe I wanted to try!
