Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cooking spray
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup panko
1 large egg
1/4 cup grated onion (from about 1/2 medium onion)
3/4 cup Buffalo sauce, such as Frank's RedHot

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons hot honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, cut into small sticks

In a large bowl, combine the turkey, panko, egg, grated onion, 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce, the blue cheese, garlic powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix with your hands until just evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Roll the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls (28 to 30 meatballs).
