# What You’ll Need:
→ Protein and Seasonings
01 -
1 lb lean ground chicken or ground turkey (92-93% lean)
02 -
1 tablespoon paprika
03 -
1 teaspoon salt
04 -
1 teaspoon black pepper
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
07 -
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
→ Dry Mix
08 -
2 1/2 cups Bisquick Heart Smart Baking Mix (or original Bisquick)
09 -
1 tablespoon dried parsley
→ Dairy
10 -
3/8 cup skim milk (1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon)
11 -
8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese (2% milk)
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix ground chicken with paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, and fennel seeds using a fork or clean hands until evenly blended.
03 -
Add Bisquick mix, skim milk, dried parsley, and shredded cheddar cheese to the meat mixture and stir with a spoon or mixer until fully combined.
04 -
Divide the mixture into 32 equal portions, approximately two tablespoons each, and roll each into a ball. Lightly spray palms with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
05 -
Place balls spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 24 minutes until firm and cooked through.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Using ground poultry with a slightly higher fat content (92-93%) ensures moist and flavorful sausage balls. Cooking spray on hands helps with rolling sticky mixture.
02 -
Sausage balls can be frozen before or after baking; reheat in an air fryer at 325°F for 5–6 minutes.
