Buffalo Style Meatballs
By Loni
This meatball recipe is made with ground turkey and chicken and is incredibly flavorful
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1.5 lb ground turkey*
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp Buffalo sauce (reserve the 2 Tbsp)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese or Parmesan cheese blend (Romano, Pecorino, etc.)
- 2 Tbsp parsley (either fresh or dried)
- 5 grape tomatoes, finely diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- I had 1.5 lb of ground turkey left over when I made this recipe. I would imagine you could use the 1 lb amounts sold in most stores and just reduce all the other amounts slightly.
