Buffalo Meatballs fooooorrr TAILGATING!

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!!!!!
My ultimate favorite time of year....FOOTBALL! 
Especially because I go to Boise State.....We are all proud Bronco's
I tried a new recipe and tested it on my friends at one of our get togethers!
It is really delicious and I got a ton of compliments.
It's not very spicy, but my roommates thought that they were.
So If you like spicy food, 
add a Habinero(there are no suggestions for spelling on that, deal with it!)
 or jalepeno!!!!
These are substitutes for messy hotwings that you have to awkwardly try to devour in front of your friends and family ......But they taste just as good!!!!

You'll Need:
(Meatballs)
1 pound ground turkey (I used 1 1/4 Lb.)
2 eggs
2 Oz. Cream Cheese (It should say on the silver packaging how much is how man oz.)
3 Tbs. Chopped Celery
3 Tbs. Ground Black Pepper
And like I said, Some kind of spicy pepper
(Sauce)
1/2 Cup Franks Hot Wing Sauce
1/2 Stick of Butter
Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs together
Don't add salt!
(this is coming from a salt lover...it's def salty enough)

^Like this ^
Your hands might get cold....As with all meat!

Then, take the Tablespoon that you used to measure the stuff out 
Scoop the mixture onto a greased pan in one scoop increments

Throw these in the oven at 350* for 10 minutes

While that's going on, take your "sauce" ingredients and stick them in the microwave for 2 minutes
Remember to stir occasionally because you're using butter
BUT the bowl WILL BE HOT when you pull it out of the microwave..haha yeahhhh...

After 10 minutes..pull them out...and they look nasty...they don't taste that way, I promise.

Now be careful here because they are tender due to the creme cheese!!!!

Dunk them in the sauce and return it to the pan.
If you have leftover sauce in the bowl then just drizzle it over all of them

Stick them back in the oven for another 12 minutes

Then they look like yummy-ness!!!!

As you can see the ones on the darker pan (below) are crispier than the ones on the silver pan!
I tested that out, but when they're all mixed together, you can't tell the difference.


Now plate and of course you need to serve them with celery!
Especially if you add peppers!

As Always, GO BRONCOS!
BLEED BLUE & ORANGE
