OK, I am on a little bit of a meatball kick. I made these for superbowl sunday and they were a hit, not one left. I made my own low fat blue cheese dip to dip them in. These are actually pretty healthy, made with turkey and I use oatmeal and whole wheat breadcrumbs as binders (you wont even notice the oats). These meatballs are very moist (especially for turkey meatballs).
Buffalo Style Meatballs
1/4 c low fat milk
1/2 C. whole wheat seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 C. oatmeal (not instant)
1 large egg, beaten lightly
20 oz ground turkey
1 small shallot, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C fresh parsley, choppped
olive oil for drizzling
1/2 C crumbled blue cheese
2 T. unsalted butter
bottle of your favorite wing sauce (I use the original Anchor Bar sauce)
1/4 C crumbled blue cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Pour milk in a large, deep bowl. Add oats and breadcrumbs and let sit a minute. Add egg and stir well. Add ground turkey, shallot, garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, and 1-2 Tbsp wing sauce, and 1/2 C blue cheese and mix well until combined. Shape into small meatballs, place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil. Bake 10-12 minutes, until cooked inside. Melt butter over med and add remaining wing sauce until heated through. Toss meatballs with wing sauce/butter mixture. sprinkle 1/4 c crumbled blue cheese over top. Serve with toothpicks and low fat blue cheese dip (recipe follows). Makes about 35-40 meatballs.
Low Fat Blue Cheese Dip
16 oz low fat sour cream
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. dijon mustard
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste (I like lots of pepper)
2tsp-1 T apple cider vinegar (depending on the consistency you want)
8 oz crumbled blue cheese
mix all ingredients together. Serve with meatballs.
