These Buffalo Turkey Meatballs are the perfect dinner solution for any night of the week and make delicious meal prep bowls to help power you through the week.

If you’re like me and either skip lunch or end up grabbing something totally unhealthy, creating Meal Prep Bowls at the beginning of the week with leftovers is an awesome way to keep yourself on track. They help keep portions balanced and force you to eat what you have.

Fortunately, Buffalo Turkey Meatballs keep really well in the refrigerator all week and pair perfectly with just about anything from noodles, rice, quinoa or even, cooked spaghetti squash.

INGREDIENTSFor the Meatballs

• 1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 pounds Foster Farms Organic Ground Turkey
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 5 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 red onion finely diced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 cup green onions thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives to garnish

For the Buffalo Sauce

• 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
• 1 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce (or preferred pre-made buffalo sauce of choice)
• 4 tbsp butter melted

Meal Prep Bowls

• Cooked rice or spaghetti squash
• Lettuce/cabbage
• Ranch/Blue cheese dressing
• Carrot + Celery sticks

INSTRUCTIONS

1. For the Meatballs
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
3. In a large bowl add the Foster Farms Organic Ground Turkey, Panko breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic, chopped red onion, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and green onions. Using clean hands (or a mixing spoon), work the ingredients together until fully combined.
4. Roll the combined ground turkey mixture together into approximately 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Repeat this process until all mixture has been used, creating approximately 32 meatballs.
5. Place meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until outside is golden, cooked and internal temperature registers 160 degrees.
6. For the Buffalo Sauce
7. In a medium bowl combine the hot sauce and melted butter. Once combined, stir in the Greek yogurt. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
8. Assembly + Meal Prep
9. Remove the meatballs from the oven and allow them to cool for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a large bowl. Gently toss to coat the meatballs with half the buffalo sauce mixture and garnish with fresh chopped chives, if desired. Serve with noodles, rice, or (shown here) spaghetti squash.
10. For the meal prep bowls- Add the desired amount of spaghetti squash, salad, and Buffalo Turkey Meatballs to reusable lunch containers. I added approximately 1 cup cooked spaghetti squash, 5 meatballs, and 1/2 cup salad. Drizzle the meatballs with additional Buffalo sauce and pack with a side of Ranch Dressing or Blue Cheese Dressing, if desired. In separate ziplock bags, pack a handful of carrot and celery sticks. Store all containers in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
