| African American Meatballs * This recipe calls for ground turkey, however you may substitute for ground beef. It also calls for whole wheat bread crumbs, again, you may substitute with store bought bread crumbs. 1 cup of whole wheat bread crumbs (toast & crumble your own whole wheat bread)
1 tablespoon of minced onion
2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper
1 pound of ground turkey breast
5 egg whites, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons of Louisiana Hot Sauce
2 tablespoons of ketchup
1 teaspoon of prepared horseradish

Instructions: Mix the bread crumbs, onion and black pepper together well in a large bowl. Add the ground turkey breast, egg whites, hot sauce, ketchup and horseradish. Using your hands, mix thoroughly. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours so that the flavors can blend. Shape the mixture into 12 to 15 1 1/2 inch balls. Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place the meatballs on the baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes or until the meatballs are firm and no longer pink on the inside. Serves 6 as an appetizer. |
