Tangy Grape BBQ Meatballs (serves 8)
Little meatballs are everyone’s favorite! Serve these as a party appetizer or for a buffet, or spoon them over brown rice for dinner.
Ingredients:
Meatballs:
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 large egg
1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup very finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup Welch’s 100% Grape Juice made from Concord grapes
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
Sauce:
3/4 cup Welch’s 100% Grape Juice made from Concord grapes
1/2 cup ketchup
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon minced onion
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 10 x 17 x1-inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix the turkey, egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, grape juice, and mustard until blended.
- Moisten your hands and shape the turkey mixture into 1-inch balls. (It is important to make them all the same size so that they cook evenly.) Place the meatballs on the prepared pan so that they do not touch.
- Bake the meatballs 10 to 12 minutes or until cooked through.
- In a large skillet, combine the grape juice, ketchup, mustard, and onion. Bring to a simmer. Add the cooked meatballs and stir gently until the meatballs are coated with the sauce. Simmer 5 minutes. Serve warm.
