Ingredients
For the meatballs:
2 pounds skinless ground turkey breast*
1 cup frozen Wild Blueberries thawed
¾ cup whole wheat bread crumbs
¼ cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 egg
¼ teaspoon salt
*Alternatively you can purchase turkey breast and cut it into ½ inch cubes
For the BBQ sauce:
1¼ cups frozen Wild Blueberries thawed
¼ cup catsup
¼ cup honey
¼ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup minced ginger
2 cloves garlic
½ medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly. If using cubed turkey, mix ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the turkey is coarsely chopped (approx. ¼ inch. Do not over process).
Using a tablespoon, scoop out rounded tablespoons (if necessary, use your hands to form the balls) and place on a parchment lined baking pan and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. (The meatballs may be a little “soft” and not form perfect balls but that’s fine).
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
