Cook Sage And Onion Stuffing Meatballs For Christmas On The Traeger Wood Pellet Grill

Perk up the sage and onion stuffing and cook it on the BBQ

 Stuffing the turkey cavity increases the cooking time and the chances of the centre not being thoroughly cooked, but these stuffing meatballs are really quick and easy and can be made beforehand and kept frozen. Just be a bit cautious with the sage as the strong taste can be a bit overpowering.

 

 Ingredients:

  • 0.5kg sausage meat with added breadcrumbs
  • ¼ pack fresh sage; finely chopped
  • medium onion; finely diced 
  • sea salt
  • ground black pepper

Equipment:

  • baking tray
  • parchment paper

Gently sweat off the onions and combine with all the other ingredients. Form into meatballs, should make about 8. Place on the parchment lined baking sheet.

Pre-heat the Traeger to 200C and cook for about 20 – 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 75C. Check this with a digital instant read thermometer.
