Description

VOSKOS® Nonfat Honey Greek Yogurt adds a hint of sweet to these lean meatballs dressed up with marmalade barbecue sauce. For easy shaping, use a small scoop to form the meatballs, then bake them off in the oven. To party with ease, transfer meatballs and sauce to a slow cooker set on warm or low heat setting to serve. Serve with crunchy pretzel sticks as a fun substitute for wooden picks.

Ingredients

1 egg, lightly beaten
1 (5 3/10 ounce) container VOSKOS® Nonfat Honey Greek Yogurt
1 cup soft bread crumbs
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
33 Pretzel sticks

1/4 cup orange marmalade or apricot preserves

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine egg, yogurt, bread crumbs, onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add ground turkey; mix well.
2 Shape turkey mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place meatballs in a foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake about 20 minutes or until meatballs are no longer pink. Drain on paper towels. Add meatballs to warm Marmalade Barbecue Sauce (see below) in a large saucepan. Serve with pretzel sticks as picks.
