Easy Buffalo Turkey Meatballs are the perfect game day appetizer! They're juicy, light, and covered in buffalo sauce. Best part is, they can be ready in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Ground Turkey: One pound of ground turkey makes these meatballs nice and light.

Bread Crumbs: Plain panko bread crumbs help keep the meatballs moist. I like 4C Foods.

Egg: To bind the meatballs together.

Carrot: Just one small carrot, finely grated. Be sure to squeeze the liquid out.

Onion: Finely diced red onion.

Buffalo Sauce: Some buffalo sauce for inside the meatballs plus more for drizzling on top for serving.

Seasoning: Garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Dressing: Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for serving.

Vegetables: Carrot sticks and celery sticks, for serving.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Buffalo Turkey Meatballs come together in less than 30 minutes. Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl, form them into balls, then bake. Drizzle with more buffalo sauce before serving.

Prepare. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a large baking sheet with oil and set aside.
Mix the ingredients. In a large bowl, using a fork or your hands, mix the ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, grated carrot, onion, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper until just combined.
Make the meatballs. Form into 1 inch meatballs. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake. Bake for 15 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through. Toss with a drizzle of buffalo sauce.
Serve and enjoy. These are best served warm with carrot and celery sticks, and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
