So last weekend, we attended a family birthday celebration, I always like to take something if it’s a house party but I couldn’t manage spending a lot of time making a dish. I decided to try a new appetizer and put a new spin on an old favorite.
This really turned out great and got some really good reviews at the party too. So I decided to share, also document it since my husband always accuses me of making a new dish great the first time then it never tastes the same again :).
Before I share this recipe though please note, I don’t consider myself a chef, the recipe and explanation of my ‘how to’ is the best I can do with what I have in my pantry. Please feel free to use other ingredients as you see fit.
- 3 lbs lean ground turkey
- 3-4 hot Italian turkey sausage
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon onion powder, or you can blend half of an onion
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of panko bread crumbs, or you can toast one slice of bread
- 1 tablespoon ginger soy sauce
- Fresh parsley
- Chili powder & cayenne pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 bottle of your favorite bbq sauce (I usually buy something with a hickory flavor)
- 1 tablespoon of A1 steak sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F˚.
- Combine all meatball ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Use an ice cream scoop to portion meatballs so they come out even.
- Line or spray a sheet pan.
- Load meatballs on the pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F˚
- While meatballs are baking combine the 2 ingredients for your glaze.
- Remove meatballs from oven after 15 minutes and glaze them.
- Return to oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Re-coat them again once you take them out from the oven while they are still hot.
Notes
Prep time includes the time it takes to scoop meatballs onto sheet pan & first coating of glaze.
