Ken’s Apple Cider Vinaigrette Meatball’s

I have been buying Ken’s Apple Cider Vinaigrette for a couple years now, it’s one of my favorite salad dressing to have on salads or with vegetables but I recently went on their website to see if the dressing was gluten free and found it is gluten free and they had a recipe for these meatballs so I knew I wanted to try them. These meatballs are sweet from the vinaigrette and spicy from the sriracha and cayenne. Jim and I both really liked these meatballs. They are simple to make and can be made into smaller meatballs for an appetizer or larger for dinner. These would also be easy to make and put in the crockpot for entertaining.

INGREDIENTS

For the meatballs-

2 pounds ground Turkey
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup breadcrumbs (I used crushed corn chips to keep it gluten free)
1 small onion finely diced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup Ken’s Apple cider Vinaigrette
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper

To make the glaze-

1 cup Ken’s Apple Cider Vinaigrette
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
3 teaspoons grated ginger
6 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons sriracha
3 teaspoons cornstarch

DIRECTIONS

Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and set aside. Add all of the meatball ingredients into a large bowl and mix well to combine. Roll into 1 inch balls. Place the balls on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

Mix the apple cider glaze ingredients except for the cornstarch into a large skillet and mix well to combine and bring to a boil. Once to a boil mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water then add to the sauce mixture. Stir until slightly thickened then turn the heat down to medium. When the meatballs are ready take them out from the oven and add them to the sauce to finish cooking. Once cooked through remove from heat and serve warm.

Enjoy!
