Buffalo Turkey Meatballs
Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 cup onion, roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 2 lbs ground turkey
- ¼ cup Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Mayo
- 1.5 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp Buffalo Style Hot Sauce + ½ cup for sauce (we used Frank's Red Hot Sauce)
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 1-2 tbsp Chosen Foods Avocado Oil for frying
Instructions
-
In a food processor, add the roughly chopped garlic, onions, and parsley. Pulse to combine and the onions are about the size of a grain of rice (you don't want it to be pureed completely though). Remove the onion mixture from the food processor and drain in a fine mesh sieve. Use a spatula to press as much water out of the onion mixture.
-
In a large mixing bowl, add the onion mixture and the remaining ingredients. Using your hands or a long handled spatula, mix the meat mixture together until combined. Try not to overwork it too much.
-
Use a large ice cream scoop to make uniform meatballs. Roll with your hands to make it into shape and set aside. Repeat with remaining meatball mixture.
-
Heat a cast iron skillet with 1-2 TBSP of avocado oil (or fat of your choice for frying). Brown meatballs for 1 minute on each side. Remove and place into a slow cooker bowl. Repeat for remaining meatballs.
-
Pour ½ cup hot sauce over the meatballs and set slow cooker on low for 2 hours.
-
Serve as is or make into sliders!
