BBQ Meatballs for the slowcooker!

Slow-Cooker BBQ Turkey Meatballs - 17g Carbs, 2g Fiber

{Note: This recipes does not specify what brand/type of
barbecue Sauce was used! Be sure to use one that works for
you. Read the label since most have sugar, molasses, etc
included.

Like beef, ground turkey contains different amounts of fat usually
either 85 percent, 93 percent and 99 percent. We like the 93 percent
version, which has just enough fat to lend some flavor and welcome
texture.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours
Serves: 6

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 small onion, grated
1 rib celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lb ground turkey breast
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup rolled oats (do not use instant)
2 cups barbecue sauce

1. Warm oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and
celery and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic
and saute 1 minute longer. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and let cool.

2. Place turkey in a large bowl. Add onion mixture, egg and oats. Use
your hands to gently but thoroughly blend ingredients. Dampen hands
lightly and form mixture into about 20 meatballs, each 1 1/2 inches
in diameter.

3. Pour a small amount of sauce over bottom of slow cooker. Add
meatballs, top with remaining sauce. Pour in 1/2 cup water. Cover
and cook on high until meatballs are cooked through, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
