1lb. ground chicken or turkey\"mb\"<\/a>
\n2 oz. cream cheese, softened
\n2 eggs
\n2 T. chopped celery
\n3 T. crumbled blue cheese
\n1\/2 tsp. black pepper<\/p>\n

For the Sauce
\n1\/2 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter
\n1\/2 cup Frank\u2019s Red Hot Sauce<\/p>\n

Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a medium bowl. DO NOT ADD SALT!!! The Frank\u2019s is super salty as is the blue cheese; you don\u2019t need to add more. The mix will be sticky and gooey but that\u2019s normal. Form into about 1 inch balls \u2013 remember these are cocktail\/bite sized so don\u2019t make them too big. Place them on a greased cookie sheet (with sides) and bake at 350 degrees (F) for 10 minutes. To make the sauce, combine the Frank\u2019s and butter in a small saucepan on medium heat, or place in a microwave safe bowl for 2 minutes on high. After 10 minutes, remove balls from oven and dunk carefully (they are tender from the cream cheese and could fall apart if you are too rough) in the buffalo sauce. Put back onto the cookie sheet and bake for another 12 minutes. If you have leftover sauce you could pour it over the meatballs and bake for another 3 to 4 minutes if you want them really saucy. Serve with celery sticks to be authentic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
