SHEET PAN BBQ MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, 2 Tbsp of BBQ sauce (reserve the remaining ¼ cup for later), garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt in a bowl. Mix the ingredients together by hand until evenly combined.
• Divide and shape the meat mixture into 16 meatballs. This is easiest by first dividing the mixture into four equal portions, then dividing and shaping each of those portions into four meatballs. The mixture may be fairly wet. That is okay. Place the meatballs on a parchment lined baking sheet and set aside.
• Slice the bell pepper and onion into ¼-inch wide strips. Place the pepper and onion slices on a second baking sheet (lined or unlined, your choice) and drizzle with cooking oil. Toss to coat, then season with salt. Spread the peppers and onions evenly over one side of the baking sheet.
• Remove the pineapple slices from the can and blot them dry with paper towel. Lay the pineapple slices over the second half of the baking sheet with the peppers and onions.
• Place both baking sheets in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes.
• While the sheet pans are in the oven, begin cooking the rice. Add the rice and 1.5 cups water to a sauce pot. Place a lid on top and bring the water up to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to low. Let the rice simmer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the heat off and let the rice rest, undisturbed and with the lid on, until the rest of the meal is finished.
• After roasting for 15 minutes, take the sheet pan with the vegetables out and give the peppers and onions a stir. Use a brush to lightly coat the pineapple slices with about 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce. Return that sheet pan to the oven.
• Remove the sheet pan with the meatballs and use the brush to lightly coat the meatballs with the remaining 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce. Return the sheet pan to the oven. Finish roasting both sheet pans for an additional 10 minutes.
• After the meatballs, peppers, onions, and pineapple have finished roasting, it's time to serve! Fluff the rice with a fork, then add about ¾ cup rice to each bowl or meal prep container. Divide the meatballs, peppers, onions, and pineapple slices between the four bowls. Top with sliced green onion, then enjoy!

EASY SHEET-PAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Line 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil; spray foil with nonstick cooking spray. In large bowl, beat egg. Stir in all remaining ingredients.
• In sprayed foil-lined pan, shape beef mixture into 8-inch square. Cut into 25 squares; do not separate.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until meatballs are thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in center. With sharp knife, cut apart meatballs.

SHEET PAN BBQ MEATBALLS WITH SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine ground meat, onion, garlic, egg and breadcrumbs and mix with hands until well combined.
• Form into balls. (I usually make 12-14).
• Place bbq sauce in a small bowl. One at a time, dip meatballs in bbq sauce and turn until well coated. Place on greased, foil-lined baking sheet.
• Slice sweet potatoes fairly thin. I usually aim for about 1/4 inch slices. Place in a large bowl, add oil and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle on both sides with paprika (and optional cayenne pepper).
• Place both baking sheets in oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove trays one at a time and flip sweet potatoes and meatballs. Bake another 10 minutes or until meatballs reach 165 degrees.
• If desired, you can bake the sweet potatoes an additional 5 minutes to get them a little more "roasted" but they should be fine either way.
• Serve with additional bbq sauce for dipping!

BARBECUED MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the beef, bread, onion, milk, salt and eggs. Shape into little meatballs, about 1 inch in size. Place the meatballs into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Pour barbecue sauce over the meatballs and bake for 35 more minutes.
