    How about turkey meatballs? Ground turkey, panko bread crumbs, chopped onion, roasted red pepper, salt, pepper, garlic, Italian seasonings and an egg to bind. Roll into golf ball size and cook indirect at 375* till 170 internal. These can be used for pasta dishes or sub sammies etc. I have done a loaf this way on foil and it was very good also.

    I hate turkey meatloaf - it's awful. However, I do love this recipe for turkey bolognese. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/emerils-turkey-bolognese-recipe/index.html

    I haven't done it on the egg yet, but I bet it would be pretty good with some smoke!

    I use ground turkey in different recipes instead of beef.  I use beef bullion cubes to increase the beef flavor and it comes out the same!

    Turkey, Meatballs, Ground, Richard Fl

    INGREDIENTS:
    2 Lbs Turkey, Ground
    1 Large Onion, Chopped Small
    2 Whole Eggs
    1 Cup Favorite BBQ Sauce
    1 Pkg Lipton Onion Mix
    "OR"
    1 Pkg Knoor's French Onion Soup Mix
    2-3 Tbs Dijon Mustard
    1-1 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
    1-2 Cups Italian Bread Crumbs To Bind
    BBQ Rub of Choice

    Procedure:

    1. Mix all ingredients except turkey and bread crumbs. Then mix in turkey. Slowly add in portions of bread crumbs, careful not to add so many that the meatballs will be dried out. Make meatballs about 1-1 1/2 inches in diameter. Sprinkle with your favorite BBQ rub.

    BGE:

    1. Set up BGE for indirect cook at 350°F and add some smoke of choice. I used apple. Place meatballs on rack with a smaller grid pizza rack to keep the meat from falling into fire. Cook about 35-45 minutes. Can be frozen

    2. Will probably make great turkey burgers & meatloaf. If meat loaf pull at 150°F.

    Yield: 3-4 Dozen

    Recipe Type: Appetizer, Main Dish, Poultry, Side Dish
