Low Carb Meatballs

 

Ingredients

For the meatballs

  • 1 lb ground turkey (or chicken)
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 to 1 cup Franks Hot Wing Sauce (depending on how spicy you like it!)

Yogurt Blue Cheese Dip

  • 1/2 cup plan greek yogurt (I recommend full fat)
  • 1 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp milk
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Mix together all of the meatball ingredients except hot sauce. Form into 16 balls (about 2 heaping tablespoons each) and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until meatballs are well formed and start to brown. (IF FREEZING - Allow to cool and place in a freezer bag with all air removed. Label with following directions)
  3. Place meatballs in the slow cooker. Add buffalo sauce, pouring evenly over meatballs. Cook on low for 2 hours. Serve immediately with dip or keep warm in slow cooker until ready to serve.
  4. While the meatballs cook, make the dip. Whisk together the yogurt, milk, vinegar, and spices until well mixed. Carefully stir in blue cheese. The dip can be used as both a dip and a dressing on a salad or bowl.

Notes

1. Store leftover meatballs in the fridge for up to 3 days or freezer for up to 4 months. Dip can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
