Ground Turkey Meatballs

Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 10 min

Meatballs

• 2lbs ground turkey
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 1tsp garlic powder(or to taste)
• 1 cup cracker or bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)

Sauce:

• 1 1/2 cups ketchup
• 1/4 cup mustard
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all of the meatball ingredients together in a large bowl. You can use your hands like I did (just make sure to wash them first) and kneed it like dough! Hey, I think it’s actually kind of fun! Almost like squishing mud between your toes :)

Ok, now make the turkey meatballs about the size you would make cookie dough balls, or you can make them bigger if you want, just make sure to cook them a bit longer so they cook all the way through. Place them in a 13x9x2 inch pan nice and close together.

Sauce:  Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and mix well so there are no brown sugar lumps.

Now, put the ground turkey meatballs in the oven to brown for a few minutes (about 5-10 min.) before putting the sauce on. Once they are browned, take them out and pour sauce over each meatball making sure to completely cover each one.

Put them back in the oven, uncovered, for about 40-50 more minutes.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.  These meatballs are great served over white rice!
