Clinton Kelly: Spicy Turkey Meatballs Recipe + Sweet Mango Glaze

Rachael Ray: Clinton Kelly

The Chew co-host Clinton Kelly visited Rachael Ray’s kitchen with a recipe for Spicy Turkey Meatballs and a Sweet Mango Glaze.

Clinton Kelly is an expert when it comes to drinks, and before he made an Indian Summer Cocktail for Rachael, he shared a tip for serving ice at parties. Place the ice in a colander, and set the colander inside a bowl. That way, the ice that melts will drain into the bowl, and your guests will be able to grab fresh ice using tongs.

Don’t get stuck behind the bar or you could miss the whole party. Clinton’s advice is to offer a signature cocktail at your next gathering (along with a red wine and white wine, beer, and sodas), such as this Indian Summer Cocktail.

• 1 splash Sweet Vermouth

Turkey is affordable and easy to find in stores. Grated onion adds some moisture to the mix, which is always a good thing when you are working with ground meat. Choose your favorite hot sauce for this recipe. “You really need the spicy to balance out the sweet,” Clinton said.

Rachael reminded everyone that you can use a small ice cream scoop to perfectly portion the meatballs, which is a great tip. “You can make these meatballs for dinner one night. They’re that good,” Clinton promised.

Rachael referred to the finished product as “figure-friendly” and “not too heavy,” which is what you’re going for with hors d’oeuvres.
