Turkey Bbq Meatballs Recipes

BBQ TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine 2.5 - 3 lbs. of ground turkey in a large mixing bowl with 2 eggs, ¾ cup gluten free Panko breadcrumbs, 2 tsp. garlic powder, 2 tsp. onion powder, 2 tsp. smoked paprika, 1 tsp. Italian seasoning, and ¼ tsp. each of kosher salt and pepper.
• Mix all of these ingredients together with a large spoon or your hands. (Be careful not to over-mix or they may become tough). Make sure all of the spices are incorporated into the meat before forming it into balls.
• Scoop the meat mixture into balls using a medium-size ice cream scoop or large spoon (this will ensure that they are all equal in size). Use your hands to form the meat into balls and place them on a baking sheet.
• Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes. Remove the baking sheets when finished. Repeat with the remainder of the meat mixture until all of the meatballs are cooked. (The meatballs are fully cooked when the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees and can be tested with a meat thermometer).
• Place the cooked meatballs in a slow cooker.
