Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey, 7% fat
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 6 ounces grape jelly
  • 1/4 cup Heinz® bottled chili sauce

Preparation

  1. Combine the ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, finely chopped onion, garlic powder and pepper until well blended.
  2. Shape turkey mixture into 3/4-inch meatballs to make approximately 48 balls.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook meatballs over medium heat. Turn several times to brown evenly. Continue cooking until meatballs are cooked all the way through.

Helpful hints

  • This recipe works best with ground turkey containing 7% fat.  Meatballs made with ground turkey breast meat are not as moist.
  • Ground beef or pork may be substituted for ground turkey.
