Sweet Mini Meatball Idea
Looking for a new take on classic meatballs? These sweet mini meatballs are the perfect solution. Easy to make and even easier to enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 20 oz package of lean ground turkey
- 1 cup Old Fashion Oats
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 inch of fresh ginger root preferably frozen so you can grate
- 1 8 oz can of crushed pineapple
- 1 15 oz can of chicken broth
- About 5 dried apricots
- Honey I used about 1 tablespoon but went by taste
- Molasses I used about 1 tablespoon but went by taste
- 1 sweet bell pepper chopped I used a mix of red and orange
- 1 red onion chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler.
- Add the turkey, oatmeal, and egg in a large bowl. Grate in 1 clove of the garlic and ½ of the ginger. Combine together with your hands and form the meatballs. Try to keep them on the small side.1 20 oz package of lean ground turkey, 1 cup Old Fashion Oats, 1 egg, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 inch of fresh ginger root, About 5 dried apricots
- Brown the meatballs on a cookie sheet under the broiler.
- While the meatballs are in the oven, add the remaining clove of garlic and ginger root, the pineapple, chicken broth, honey and molasses to the blender. Blend on high until smooth.2 cloves of garlic, 1 inch of fresh ginger root, 1 8 oz can of crushed pineapple, 1 15 oz can of chicken broth, Honey, Molasses
- By this time the meatballs should be brown. Add them to the crockpot, along with the onion, peppers and pineapple mixture. I cooked on high for about 4 hours and then lowered low until we were ready to eat, about 2 more hours. I think they were down after 3. At least that's when I tried them. 🙂1 8 oz can of crushed pineapple, 1 sweet bell pepper chopped, 1 red onion chopped
