Turkey (Or Chicken) Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce image

This recipe is something I make often for my toddler who has allergies, so quick and easy! It doesn't require eggs like most meatballs. When making it for my son, I use the smaller amounts of sweet chili and green onion. I also use homemade bread crumbs from French bread, because of his allergies.I have even skipped the breadcrumbs completely and it worked. We make it as a snack or serve with rice and veggies for dinner. This recipe can be frozen. It easily doubles if you want to take it to a potluck or serve as an appy at a party. Serve with a side of sweet chili sauce to dip, or ketchup for crazy kids like my DS. ;)

Time 35m

Yield 30 Meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 lbs ground turkey or 1 1/4 lbs chicken
2 -3 green onions, diced
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/3-1/2 cup sweet chili sauce

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients together.
  • In a pan lightly oiled (I use Pam), fry over medium heat until completely brown, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Bake in a preheated 350* oven until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • You can also cook them completely in the fry pan.
  • This recipe makes about 30 average size meatballs.
  • Adjust amount of Sweet Chili sauce and bread crumbs if it appears too dry or wet, but these amounts work perfectly for us.
  • You can combine all ingredients and refridge overnight then cook as normal, for a spicier flavor.
  • For OAMC - Flash freeze on a cookie sheet until frozen. Place in a ziploc bag once frozen. Heat in Micro for 45-60 seconds, depending on the size of meatball. I'm sure it can be reheated in the oven, but I haven't tried it yet.
