Seeing I haven't posted in quite a while, I thought that I would post lowfat from the Taste of Home Lowfat Country Cooking. Out of 455 recipes I only have 44 formatted. Plan on formatting the rest this week. Hope you all enjoy these.

In a bowl, combine turkey, egg, cracker crumbs, cheese, onion, ginger and 3 tablespoons mustard. Form into 30 balls, 1 inch each. Place in a greased 13-inch X 9-inch X 2-inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes or until juices run clear. In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, green pepper, honey, cornstarch and onion powder; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more; reduce heat. Stir in remaining mustard until smooth. Brush meatballs with about ¼ cup sauce and return to the oven for 10 minutes. Serve remaining sauce as a dip for meatballs.

It's nice to have a turkey meatball that doesn't taste like you should have used beef. These meatballs can be prepare ahead and frozen, so you can treat even drop - in guests to a hot snack.
