Happy March Madness everyone!
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs:
Ingredients:
1 1/4lb ground chicken or turkey
1/3 cup blue cheese
2 celery stocks
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
2 cups Franks wing sauce
Makes about 16 meatballs
Serving size, 4 meatballs, 356 calories, 15.2g fat, 6.1g carbohydrates, 45.8g protein
1. Dump all of the ingredients, except the Franks Wing Sauce, into a mixing bowl and mix together by hand.
2. Roll into about 1 inch meatballs and place on a generously greased baking sheet lined with foil.
3. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until meatballs are cooked. The turkey will release extra fat and juices, so don’t worry if it looks like everything melted out of the meatballs. Because it didn’t. Do you see the empty spot on the cookie sheet? We had to test a meatball, and it was amazing!
4. Place meatballs in a crock pot set on warm, and add Franks Wing Sauce. Mix to coat.

Those look so good! Do you know if anything could be a substitute for the egg? My son has an allergy but these look yummy!
Thank you! I’ve never tried meatballs without eggs, so I did some research. Milk can be used as a binder, but I would start with a smaller amount and add more if you need to. Also check out these recipes for allergen free meatballs:
