I created this recipe for a Super Bowl party, but it will score big any time your friends get together.
Meatballs have long been a favorite at our sports parties. Everyone loves them. They’re convenient—you can make them ahead of time—and they keep people coming back for more. These meatballs are a little different from the typical big-game fare—they’re actually good for you. Enjoy!
3/4 pound lean ground turkey
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
3 tablespoons organic unsweetened applesauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup low-carb catsup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup chopped onion or dried onion
1 egg
1 egg white
1 packet stevia
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, and coat the foil with cooking spray.
Grind the oats in a food processor until they’re close to a flour consistency.
Combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, kneading with your fingers.
Roll the meat mixture into 16 balls, roughly 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and place on the cookie sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the meat is starting to brown.
Remove from the oven, and cool slightly before serving.
Makes four servings; each four-meatball serving contains: calories, 211; fat, 8.53 grams; carbohydrate, 15.49 grams; protein, 21.53 grams
