Healthy meatballs can be challenging to produce a low-sodium and juicy product. I use a combination of lean ground beef and ground turkey, and a low-sodium BBQ sauce that is loaded with spices. the Sonic Steamer helps to keep them moist with a quick cook time and well, steam.
Combine first 14 ingredients in a medium sized bowl and whisk until smooth. Add mixture to a heavy saucepan and simmer for about 20 minutes. Allow to cool and then transfer to separate a container or squeeze bottles.
Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl to make your meatball mixture. Form meatballs in to 1 ounce balls and place in a full-size amber pan. You should yield about 50 meatballs. Add about a cup of sauce to the pan and gently roll the meatballs in the sauce, making sure each meatball is covered in sauce. Cover and cook in the Sonic Steamer on high power for 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
After removing container with meatballs from Sonic Steamer, gently shake pan to toss meatballs in sauce. Remove lid carefully in order to avoid steam burn. Remove meatballs from pan with a slotted spoon and place on to a platter. Garnish with more sauce and chopped Italian parsley.
The ground beef should be lean, but not too lean; I like and 85/15 blend. Use unfiltered cider vinegar for the sauce.
