Author Notes
These turkey meatballs swap out breadcrumbs for deeply savory Doritos (any flavor you like). I use turkey in place of beef for the ground meat—it’s more neutral, and the flavor of the Doritos will shine through.
Super Bowl Sunday is a great time to serve these up since there surely won’t be any shortage of chips.

Test Kitchen Notes
To keep the meatballs super moist, César mixes the chips and buttermilk together before adding the turkey. This trick—mixing the starch and liquid first to form a panade—works for any meatball recipe. —The Editors

Add the ground turkey and mix by hand until just combined, being careful to not over mix which would result in a tough meatball.
