Hi,

I tried doing with my regular meatball recipe, but I don't like the taste. It tastes too tomatoey because the chicken doesn't give anywhere near as much flavor to the sauce as the beef does.

Any good recipe ideas? I guess it needs to be a sauce that tastes nice in it's own right, without needing the meat flavor.

Thanks!

brown some onions & mushrooms with olive oil in a frying pan; add spices like garlic powder & black pepper ... add to the cooked mix a couple of tablespoons of flour & cook while stirring [you can add other things you like to make the sauce different like red wine, mustard, pareve cream, etc.]

add your meatballs now you have flavour

Add grated onion, minced fresh garlic and generous amounts of kosher salt to the chicken meatball mixture.

The sweet and sour meatball recipe in the purple cookbook is great for chicken balls. I don't remember the details offhand but I can look it up if you'd like it.

Yes, I would really appreciated that! I'm not making it today so only when you have time. If it has lots of sugar though then I probably wouldn't use it.

You can even use your tomato sauce recipe once the ground meat is seasoned well.
Otherwise serve it with mushroom sauce. Drop it in a soup to cook. Make a carrot sauce. Whatever.

Btw if you're not liking the ground chicken meatballs, if you're used to meat, use dark ground turkey instead.

I make them like regular meatballs (egg, breadcrumbs, etc...) and roll into balls. Then I place them all onto a Pammed pan and make a popper sauce and pour it over and bake.
Popper sauce- equal parts brown sugar, hot sauce, honey - boil till brown sugar dissolved.

I keep on reading this thread title as "source for ground chicken balls?" I guess as opposed to doing meatballs. LOL

I hope you find a recipe that works!

Ye it has a lot of sugar but I like it because it's very not typical

For one pound of meat/chicken
1 cup jellied cranberry sauce
3/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsps lemon juice.

Mix 1 jar Frescorti marinara sauce and 1 can jellied cranberry sauce. Drop the meatballs into the bubbling sauce and simmer.
