Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey breast or lean ground beef
3/4 cup quick or old-fashioned oats, uncooked
1/3 cup barbecue sauce or ketchup
1 49-ounce can reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1/4 cup alphabet-shaped pasta
1 10-ounce package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
Directions
Heat broiler. Lightly spray rack of broiler pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, combine first three ingredients; mix lightly but thoroughly. Transfer to a sheet of foil. Pat mixture into 9-by-16-inch rectangle. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares; roll each square into a ball. Arrange meatballs on broiler pan.
Broil meatballs 6-8 inches from heat about 6 minutes or until cooked through, turning once.
While meatballs cook, bring chicken broth to a boil in 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pasta and frozen vegetables, return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 8 minutes or until vegetables and pasta are tender. Add meatball and cook 1 minute. Serve immediately.
