Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey, 95% lean
- ¼ cup oatmeal, pulsed a few seconds in food processor or blender to reduce to a coarse flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 small slider buns
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- cooking spray
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey, ground oats, egg and spices. Mix gently just to combine. Shape 8 meatballs into 2-ounce balls, about the size of a small plum. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour. They may be refrigerated overnight, covered.
- When ready to grill, heat grill to 350°F or medium heat. Cooking works best with indirect heat or a griddle. Spray griddle or grill surface lightly with cooking spray. Place meatballs on griddle or grill. Close lid. Cook 8-10 minutes (don’t turn too early or meatball may stick and fall apart). If cooking directly over flame, watch for flare-ups. Using tongs, flip the meatballs over. Cook 5-6 minutes more until the inside of the meatball is 165°F. If cooking over direct heat without a griddle cooking time could be shorter.
- Spread sliced buns lightly with mayonnaise or butter. Place on grill for a couple of minutes to toast. Place one meatball per bun. Serve with BBQ sauce as a dipping sauce.
Notes
Make these a day ahead by refrigerating uncooked meatballs. Lay on baking sheet and cover. Cook as usual.
