Turkey Meatballs with Blue Cheese Horseradish

Turkey Meatballs with Blue Cheese Horseradish Sauce are crunchy and moist with a hint of horseradish and Italian seasonings.

Turkey Meatballs with Blue Cheese & Horseradish

Turkey Meatballs with Blue Cheese & Horseradish

Meatball Bars are kind of the in thing lately, even at fancy dinner parties.

Here in Los Angeles, I’ve seen Meatball Bars at all kinds of Hollywood events. There are so many delicious flavors you can pack into a one bite meatball.

Thanks to Rachael Ray for the inspiration to adapt this recipe. I love this recipe because I can use either turkey or beef and still achieve a fantastic and unique flavor.

The Pink Horseradish Sauce will surely be the talk of any dinner party and will liven up the Meatball Bar.

 

Grate the Onion

Grate the Onion

Rather than mincing onion and garlic, I like to use a Medium Course Grater right over the bowl filled with turkey.

All the onion and garlic juice will fall into the mixture. Another way to make excellent meatballs is to use a food processor like you see here in my Instant Pot Greek Meatballs {Keftedes} recipe. It keeps the meatballs nice and tight.

Worcestershire Sauce helps give turkey a meaty flavor and oatmeal or whole grain nuggets help to retain moisture in the meatballs. Another delicious recipe made with ground turkey is my Pressure Cooker Turkey Meatloaf [Instant Pot]. It is very delicious and a favorite around here.

 

20160113_190400

Crumble in some blue cheese, salt, pepper, an egg, fresh parsley, scoop of horseradish sauce and combine.

I like to put the turkey mixture in the refrigerator for about an hour, to give the ingredients a chance to incorporate.

Mix up the horseradish sauce and put it a covered container in the refrigerator until needed.

I like all my meatballs the same size and shape, so I use the KitchenAid Cookie Scooper.

It holds 1.5 Tablespoons and makes the perfect one bite meatball.

You should get approximately 40 meatballs, which fit perfectly on a Baker’s 1/2 Sheet Cookie Sheet.

Either line your pan with Parchment Paper, or use a Reusable Silicone Cookie Sheet Liner and save on waste!

Bake them in the oven for 30 minutes.

Serve with the horseradish sauce. This makes a great addition to any Meatball Bar!

    Can you recommend a subtitute for the smoked dry blue cheese? My family won’t eat it. Thank you.

    What is a dry smoked blue cheese? Can you add a link to this product or can it be substituted with a regular blue cheese?
