2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used extra virgin olive oil) 1 small onion, grated (I used half a red onion) 1 clove garlic, minced 1 pound ground turkey breast 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1/2 cup rolled oats (do not use instant) 2 cups barbecue sauce (I used Diana's Gourmet Western Smokehouse sauce)
Directions: Warm oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, three to five minutes. Add garlic and sauté one minute longer. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and let cool. 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 one and a half inches in diameter. Pour a small amount of sauce over bottom of slow cooker. Add meatballs, top with remaining sauce. Pour in a half cup water. Cover and cook on high until meatballs are cooked through, three and a half to four hours. If you are cooking for more than four or don’t feel like adding any side dishes you’re going to want to double the recipe.
