Tangy BBQ Turkey Meatballs

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I followed the advice of a previous reviewer to cut the breadcrumbs. I made half a batch and instead of 1/2 cup breadcrumbs I did 1/3. I also made them smaller than golf balls (used the smaller Pampered Chef scooper thingie) and a half batch made 18 meatballs! Because they were smaller, they only needed 15 mins at 400 and were browned and 165 degrees inside (min safe temp for ground turkey). We served over brown rice with broccoli on the side.

Overall, we liked these, but they weren’t our favorite. We had the following critiques: 1. The meatballs themselves had too much black pepper. I can’t believe I’m saying that, as I am a huge BP fan, but the balls had an unpleasant aftertaste of pepper. I would cut it in half. 2. The sauce smelled and (mostly) tasted like sloppy joe sauce. Not bad, but not what I was looking for. I would play with the ratio of ketchup to BBQ and maybe up the BBQ and mustard, or even add a little ACV for fun. We definitely had enough sauce to coat the meatballs and a bit to drizzle on top too, which made the rice tasty.

This recipe was extremely easy and quick! I will be using this as a foundation to jump off for future turkey meatball recipes. I can see some teriyaki or honey garlic turkey meatballs in our near culinary future
