It’s an insanely awesome (and easy) recipe that’s perfect for your own holiday parties, or to bring with you to a potluck.
These meatballs are healthy, but no one eating them would ever know!
They’re a little tangy, a little sweet, and packed with a lot of protein and deliciousness.
You can even make them a couple of days in advance and then reheat them when it’s time to eat.
If you’re feeding a crowd, double up on the ingredients and let them simmer in a slow cooker when it’s party time.
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken Ideal: Organic
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt Ideal: Himalayan or Celtic Sea Salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1 can 8-ounce can, crushed pineapple
- 8 ounces Low-sugar BBQ sauce Ideal: Make your own BBQ sauce---link to recipe below
- 3/4 cup chicken, turkey or vegetable broth Ideal: Organic and Low Sodium.
-
In a large skillet, combine all three sauce ingredients (pineapple, BBQ sauce,
broth) and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Then, lower the heat slightly and allow it to cool while you prepare the meatballs.
-
Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line a baking sheet with a baking mat or
parchment paper to prevent sticking.
-
Combine the meatball ingredients and mix well. Use a tablespoon to scoop the meat out and form 16 golf-ball-sized meatballs. Place on the baking sheet.
-
Bake for 14-16 minutes, until they are cooked through. Remove them from the oven and add to the sauce. Stir to coat.
-
You can eat them immediately, or store covered in the fridge for two days before serving.
