Mini Buffalo Turkey Meatballs
I love a quick and easy recipe for week nights. This one comes together in under 20 minutes and only requires 6 ingredients! Most of which I bet you already have in your fridge/pantry. Buffalo Turkey Meatballs are a fun way to mix it up and can be served so many ways so you never get tired of eating them. These are a great appetizer for parties as well! If you are not a fan of spicy foods or can't handle too much heat, you can certainly mix in a little bit of plain greek yogurt with the buffalo sauce to cool it down a bit.
