Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs, cornmeal, ground oats, or almond meal
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (regular or smoked)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice (or apple cider vinegar for a less sweet and more tangy option)

Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
    • In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs (or cornmeal or oats or almond meal), egg, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gently combine with your fingers until fully mixed.
    • Using about a tablespoon of the mixture for each, shape the mixture into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until firm and cooked through.
  • Combine the barbecue sauce and apple cider in a saucepan or small slow cooker and warm gently. Add the cooked meatballs and heat through for about 5 minutes.
