These Sweet n’ Sour Turkey Meatballs are big on taste, but great on the waistline. Traditional sweet n’ sour meatballs can be very high in fat, and even higher in sugar. Most are ridiculously high in sugar due to the sauce. Its pretty much a flavored sugar syrup. So since I wanted to come up with a sugar-free sweet n’ sour sauce, so naturally, I thought, why not pair it with a tasty and easy turkey meatball!

I chose to bake these turkey meatballs, just because I wanted to put them in the oven and forget about them for a while. Another option would be sauteing them on the stove in a pan using cooking spray or a light brush of oil, which might do a bit better job at browning them. You just have to be watching over them to make sure they don’t burn. But either would most definitely work, and the choice is yours.

The sweet n’ sour sauce is also great on its own, and could be used in any other recipe that might require a sweet n’ sour sauce. Since we all have different sweetness levels, I recommend tasting the sauce along the way using a bit of the sweetener at a time. I find all sugar substitutes and different brands of stevia to have a different sweetness level, so you might need a bit more, or a bit less.

If you use a concentrated stevia, you may only need 1/2 tsp of a plain stevia liquid or concentrated powder to sweeten the whole batch of sauce. So it just depends on what you have on hand.

I hope you enjoy it, as it has quickly become my go-to sweet n’ sour meatball recipe!
