Maple glazed ground chicken breakfast sausage meatballs stuffed with sweet potato, blueberries, and oats.
Servings: 12 Meatballs
Calories: 85kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Chicken or Turkey
- 2 oz Sweet Potato peeled and grated
- 2 oz Dried OR Fresh Blueberries
- 1/4 cup 20g Rolled Oats
- 2 tablespoons 30g Maple Syrup
For the Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Rubbed Sage
- 1/4 teaspoon Allspice
Instructions
- Mix the seasoning blend together in a large bowl. Add the grated sweet potato, blueberries, and oats to the bowl and mix everything together.
- Add the ground chicken and mix everything together, forming a large ball.
- Divide the mixture into 12 meatballs weighing about 53 grams each. Place the meatballs in an air fryer basket or on a parchment lined sheet pan.
- For the air fryer*, cook the meatballs at 400ºF for 10-12 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 140ºF to 150ºF. Brush with the maple syrup and air fry an additional 2-3 minutes until the meatballs are 165ºF inside. For the oven, bake at 400ºF for 15 minutes before brushing the maple syrup on and baking an additional 3-5 minutes. Check the internal temperature and be careful not to overcook.
- Serve with fried eggs, hash browns, or your choice of breakfast fare.
Notes
*I used a 6.5-quart Ninja Foodi for air frying. Every air fryer is different so check internal temperatures early and often to avoid over cooking.
