Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean Ground Turkey
- 2 whole Egg Whites
- 60 grams Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 240 milliliters Low-Fat BBQ Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground turkey, egg whites, whole wheat bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
With clean hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they are lightly browned and cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, heat the low-fat BBQ sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven and carefully transfer them to the saucepan with the BBQ sauce.
Gently stir the meatballs in the sauce over low heat for 5 minutes, ensuring they are well coated and heated through.
Serve the BBQ meatballs hot, with sides or garnishes of your choice.
