    Buffalo Turkey Meatballs - Simple ingredients turn ground turkey into flavorful little bites, perfect for your game day spread or weeknight meal.

    Hi guys, here's another super easy and pretty healthy dish for your Sunday Superbowl party.  Or even next Monday's dinner. These Buffalo Turkey Meatballs come together so quick and easy, especially if you keep bread crumbs in your freezer.  I usually buy or make an extra loaf of bread just to dry out and process into bread crumbs.  Then I pack them in a large freezer bag and freeze them until i need them.  They take no time at all to defrost.  I just let them sit in the bowl for a few extra minutes before continuing with my recipe.

    I use ground turkey for this recipe but you could use ground chicken or ground beef if you prefer.  I just really like ground turkey.  If you do too, you should try my Quinoa Ground Turkey Skillet, or my Turkey Burgers.  Prep time for this recipe is probably 5-10 minutes, and baking time is about 20 minutes.

    I hope you try these out, let me know if you do.  Have a great day!

      What a great recipe, I love the idea of using minced turkey instead of beef. I like to keep breadcrumbs in the freezer too, any odd bits of bread that are leftover I whizz up and pop in the freezer. I'm hoping I've got enough in there to make your meatballs.

        I love having a little freezer stock. I keep bread crumbs, ginger, tomato paste, so handy! Hope you like the recipe if you try it 🙂
