With the holidays upon us, schedules can get hectic. Sometimes figuring out what to make for dinner can be the last thing on our priority list. Between last minute Christmas shopping, holiday parties, kids events, and family get-togethers, there's barely time to pour yourself a glass of eggnog at the end of the day.
I found the original version of this recipe on whatgreatgrandmaate.com, and added a few of my own changes. I'm not typically a fan of buffalo chicken, but these meatballs are AH-mazing!! Easy to make, minimal ingredients, and leaner than typical meatballs made with beef & pork. Just don't expect to have leftovers. They're THAT good!
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb ground chicken or turkey
- ¾ cup almond meal
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 7 tbsp hot sauce
- 6 tbsp butter
- chopped green onions, for garnish
- Preparation
- -In a large bowl, combine your meat, almond meal, salt, minced garlic, and green onions.
- -Use your hands to combine everything together
- -Roll the meat into small balls about 1-2 inches wide.
- -Grease the inside of your instant pot with some of the coconut oil, and set it to sauté.
- -Working in batches, place the meatballs into the pot, turning periodically to brown on all sides.
- -While the meatballs are browning, combine hot sauce and butter and heat them in the microwave or the stove top until the butter is completely melted. Use a spoon to stir. This is your buffalo sauce.
- -Once all of the meatballs have been browned, place them into the instant pot and cover evenly with your buffalo sauce
- -Cover with the lid, and close the steam vent. Set your instant pot to the poultry setting (15-20 min)
- -Once done, garnish with more green onion and enjoy!
