Traeger Smoked Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

About This Recipe

Low fat buffalo ground chicken meatballs stuffed with gorgonzola cheese and smoked on the Traeger grill.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground Chicken (97/3)
• 1/2 cup 60g Breadcrumbs
• 2 oz Crumbled Gorgonzola
• 2 large Eggs
• 6 tablespoons 90g Buffalo Sauce, divided
• 1 tablespoon Ranch Seasoning
• 1 small handful Freshly Chopped Parsley (Celery, or Green Onion (Optional))

Instructions

1. Preheat your smoker to 275ºF with a cast iron grill topper or mesh grill pan for 15 minutes. You want the surface to be hot to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the breadcrumbs and ranch seasoning together before adding the eggs, 2 tablespoons (30g) of buffalo sauce, gorgonzola, and ground chicken. Use your hands to mix everything together.
3. Divide the mixture into 24 meatballs weighing around 48-50 grams each.
4. Smoke the meatballs for 45 minutes before brushing with the remaining 1/4 cup (60g) of buffalo sauce. Smoke an additional 20-25 minutes until the meatballs reach an internal temp of 165ºF.
5. Top with more gorgonzola and sliced green onion or parsley, if desired.
