Barbecued Meatloaf Balls


7211-eat3I 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
