"from WW's Simply the Best Cookbook. These are actually presented as an appetizer in the original cookbook, but we usually serve them as a main dish over hot cooked jasmine rice. Wonderful and easy! 2 WW points per serving (as appetizer) or 4 WW points per serving as main dish."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey breast
• 1⁄2 green bell pepper, minced
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1⁄3 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1⁄4 cup sweet and sour sauce
• 1⁄2 cup unsweetened applesauce

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 and spray a jelly roll pan with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, lightly combine turkey, pepper, scallions, bread crumbs, egg white and soy sauce. Shape into 32 balls (about 1") and place on the pan. Bake until cooked through and browned, about 15 minutes. (In my oven, at least, 20 minutes is best).
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sweet and sour sauce with applesauce. Microwave on high until hot and bubbly (about 2 minutes).
4. Stir the meatballs into the sauce and serve.

These were okay

I liked the meatballs, but the sauce was okay. Maybe it's just my tastebuds, but I thought it was a bit too sweet. The meatballs were really good though and I ate them with marinara the next day. Thanks!

I was so pleasantly surprised by the flavor of these and how simple they were to make! I added a can of baby corn and some matchstick carrots - my daughter said it smelled like a Chinese restaurant while it was cooking. I would only add a comment that I put it all in a pan on the stove to heat and left it on low and the sauce really disappeared...still great flavor, though!

These were wonderful! A hit with the whole family. I used 1 1/2 pounds turkey and upped the breadcrumbs just a bit because of that. I omitted the applesauce because I used our favorite sweet & sour sauce in the can (Contadina) which I knew was already pretty sweet. Simmered for a while so the sauce really incorporated with the meatballs. Served over rice. Will double the recipe next time. Thanks Holly!
