Bacon Pepper Jam Meatballs

Meatballs . . . what a fun meal.  tasty . . . I could see these being used in spaghetti (in fact I think I did that with the leftovers).



Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey or beef
3/4 c plain panko bread crumbs
1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 c Bacon Pepper Jam, divided
2 large eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp Onion Onion Seasoning
1 c light sour cream
1/2 c reduced sodium chicken broth
2 tsp Garlic Garlic Seasoning

Instructions:

1.  In large bowl, combine turkey, bread crumbs, cheese, 3 tablespoons Bacon Pepper Jam, eggs, Onion Onion Seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.  Mix until well combined.  Form into about 36 (1 1/2 inch) meatballs.

2.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Place meatballs on a greased large rimmed baking sheet.  Bake 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read food thermometer.

3.  Meanwhile, in a microwave safe bowl, whisk together sour cream, broth, Garlic Garlic Seasoning, remaining 5 tablespoons Bacon Pepper Jam, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.  Microwave on HIGH 2-3 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.  Serve sauce over meatballs.

Makes 6 servings.  Serve with steamed broccoli and Garlic Garlic Spaghetti Squash.

Make Ahead & Freeze:  Prepare step 1.  Place meatballs in a gallon freezer bag between sheets of wax paper.  Place remaining Bacon Pepper Jam and Garlic Garlic Seasoning in a quart freezer bag.  Place both bags in a gallon freezer gab.  Seal well, label and freeze.  Thaw completely.  Continue with step 2.
