Instructions
- Mix ground turkey, crushed Fried Onions, egg and Gravy Mix in large bowl just until well blended. Shape mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs (about 21 meatballs). Place meatballs on large baking sheet; refrigerate 1 hour until meatballs are firm.
- Alternately thread meatballs, pineapple and peppers onto skewers.
- Grill skewers over medium heat 12 to 14 minutes or until cooked through, turning over every 3 to 4 minutes to ensure even cooking (internal temperature of meatballs should reach 165°F). Baste skewers with Sauce during last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking.
Test Kitchen Tips:
- Place 1/2 cup of Crispy Fried Onions in a small resealable plastic bag; close tightly. Use a rolling pin, meat mallet, or heavy saucepan to crush Onions until they resemble panko breadcrumbs in texture.
- If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes before skewering meatballs to avoid burning.
- No skewers? No problem! Place meatballs, peppers and pineapple in grill basket and prepared as directed.
