By vealam

Ingredients

• MEATBALLS:
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 6 cranks fresh black pepper
• 8 oz buffalo wing sauce
• BLUE CHEESE DIP:
• 6 oz plain greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Preparation

Step 1

For the MEATBALLS:
Combine ground turkey with egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with hands until fully blended. Scoop into desired size meatballs (I use a 1 Tbsp scoop) and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 25 minutes. Allow to cool about 10 minutes on pan, then remove and place meatballs in a large bowl. Pour buffalo sauce over meatballs and serve in a bowl or on a platter with toothpicks.

For the BLUE CHEESE DIP:
In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the dip. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

NOTES:
For a lighter blue cheese, eliminate mayonnaise and use only Greek yogurt.
