BBQ TURKEY MEATBALLS

Provided by Sugar Dish Me

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1- 1.5 pounds ground turkey
½ cup onion, very finely minced
1 egg
¼ cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup BBQ sauce, divided
2 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (not totally required but makes for much easier cleanup!).
  • In a large bowl, using your hands, mix together all the ingredients except the BBQ sauce and oil.
  • Mix in 3-4 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce; enough to help it bind and add flavor. If you feel like your mixture is too moist add more breadcrumbs.
  • Heat the oil in the skillet.
  • Roll the turkey mixture into 1½ inch balls and drop into the heated skillet in batches (I cook about 8 at a time) Roll them around after a minute so they brown relatively evenly. Remove the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and repeat until they are all browned.
  • Spoon the remaining BBQ sauce over each meatball and bake for 15-20 minutes, until they are cooked through.
  • Serve with more BBQ sauce if you're feeling saucy.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 45 meatballs)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds ground turkey
3 stalks celery, grated
3 cloves garlic, grated
1 small onion, grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups frozen mango
1 cup barbecue sauce
3/4 cup agave
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 habanero peppers, sliced
Sliced green onions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Put the turkey in a bowl and add the celery, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. Mix well and scoop into golf ball-size meatballs. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet as you go. Bake until cooked through and browned, 15 to 17 minutes.
  • Meanwhile make the sauce. Add the mango, barbecue sauce, agave, soy sauce and habanero peppers to a saucepan with 1/2 cup of water and stir. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to thicken slightly and enhance the heat of the peppers. Puree with an immersion blender or use a food processor.
  • Toss the meatballs with the sauce until well coated. Place on a serving platter and garnish with the sliced green onions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground turkey. Look for ground turkey that is at least 85% lean. This will help to keep the meatballs moist and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of seasonings. Don't just stick to salt and pepper. Experiment with different herbs and spices to create flavorful meatballs. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Form the meatballs into uniform sizes. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Baste the meatballs with barbecue sauce. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, green beans, and corn on the cob.

Conclusion:

BBQ turkey meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even a snack. With a little creativity, you can easily customize the meatballs to suit your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful meal, give BBQ turkey meatballs a try.
