These lean meatballs are covered in marmalade barbecue sauce, and VOSKOS® Nonfat Honey Greek Yogurt gives them a sense of sweetness. Use a tiny scoop to easily shape the meatballs, then bake them in the oven. Transferring the meatballs and sauce to a slow cooker and setting them to warm or low heat will make serving parties simple. Serving with crispy pretzel sticks instead of wooden picks is a fun alternative.

Reviews
These were delicious! I used regular vanilla yogurt instead of greek yogurt After baking in the oven, I mixed them up in a pot with warmed up teriyaki sauce instead of bar bq sauce They were fantastic
We really worried about blandness with this recipe but the barbecue sauce took care of that! It was a little sweet but I think this depends as much on our brand of marmalade as anything else. All in all it was very quick, very easy, and we’ll make it again. Thank you for a different and interesting recipe.
