Ingredients
1lbground turkey
1/4small red onion grated
2clovesgarlic minced
1egg white
1/2cuppanko bread crumbs
1tablespoonspowdered Ranch Dip mix
1piece(4 ounces) blue cheese cut into 1/2 cubes
2tablespoonsunsalted butter
1cupbuffalo wing sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. With a fork, stir together turkey, onion, garlic, egg white, bread crumbs, and ranch dip mix in a large bowl. Mix until just combined. This recipe will make 16 meatballs. Divide mixture into quarters, then make each quarter into 4 balls.
Press a cube of blue cheese into the center of each ball then form the mixture around cheese to seal. Roll into a ball.
Place meatballs on a non-stick sprayed cooling rack set on top of a baking sheet and then bake for 16-18 minutes or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Then add buffalo wing sauce and stir to combine. Add cooked meatballs to skillet using a spoon to coat them with sauce. Place a lid on the skillet and turn heat to low to keep the meatballs warm.
Alternatively, you can finish the meatballs in a slow cooker like I did. Simply put the butter, buffalo wing sauce, and meatballs into a slow cooker and set on high for about 20 minutes or until warm.
