20 min

22 mini meatballs

A sweet and garlicky appy with a surprise centre! These will be the first dish gone at your next potluck event. Dish up with Roasted Garlic Aioli for dunking.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey or chicken
  • 1 pkg Honey Garlic Meatball Seasoning or Sweet Garlic Chicken Seasoning
  • 1⁄4 cup soft goat cheese or cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp honey

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425° F. Line Sheet Pan with Sheet Pan Liner.
  2. In a large bowl, crumble in ground meat; add seasoning. Mix well. Using 1 tbsp as a guide, form meatballs; place on pan. Flatten slightly into discs and put about 1⁄2 tsp cheese in the centre of each disc. Reshape into a ball, sealing meat around cheese.
  3. In a bowl, melt honey in the microwave for about 20 sec.
  4. Brush meatballs with melted honey. Bake until cooked through, about 10 min.
  5. Insert a toothpick into each ball—they’ll be easier for guests to pick up.
