Barbecue Turkey Meatballs

Barbecue Turkey Meatballs

adapted from Cooking Light April 2013  

The sauce with these meatballs is rather spicy. If you do not like heat consider decreasing the diced tomatoes with mild green chiles and increase the tomato sauce or just use plain diced tomatoes instead.

Serve with Cauliflower - Potato Mash to catch the sauce.
