We have talked about it countless times before, but my love of buffalo sauce is STRONG! From Cheesy Buffalo Chicken French Bread to Crispy Buffalo Chicken Salad, there are never enough ways to enjoy the spicy goodness! I am here to tell you that chicken isn’t the only player in the buffalo game though. Turkey pairs just as well with the hot sauce! These tender and flavorful Light Crock Pot Buffalo Turkey Meatballs are an absolutely perfect canvas for my favorite sauce.
These meatballs are also so easy, you will want to make them again and again! I tossed together the Lean Jennie-O ground turkey with some oatmeal, egg, onions and crumbled bleu cheese and formed them into medium meatballs. I quickly browned them in a skillet and then tossed them in the slow cooker with buffalo sauce. I set them on high for 2 hours and forgot about them until the spicy smell of buffalo was wafting throughout my house!
I made these up on Sunday morning and right before game time they were ready to go. At the first bite I was in love. The turkey meatballs were so tender and flavorful, they were absolute perfection! I hate when meatballs get overcooked and they are dry and hard rocks. That is never appealing.
We enjoyed them as an easy finger food throughout the game, snacking on them with some ranch dipping sauce. We kept the Crock Pot on warming and they were good to go for the afternoon.
There weren’t many of these meatballs leftover as they were so good, but the ones that were I tossed in the refrigerator for leftovers the next day. I packed up a few meatballs with some rice and vegetables for an easy lunch to bring to work the next day. It was a great way to change up my lunch routine with something so spicy and flavorful!
These Light Crock Pot Buffalo Turkey Meatballs would also be great in lettuce wraps paired with some shredded carrots and diced celery topped with this Light Greek Yogurt Bleu Cheese Dressing. Heck, I might even try them in a salad next! There are countless ways to enjoy these meatballs as an appetizer or entree, so be sure and give them a try.
