Ingredients
  

FOR THE SAUSAGE

  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 1 tsp ground fennel seed
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (leave out if you want no heat)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

FOR THE BALLS

  • 2 oz goat cheese (crumbled)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 green onions, whites and most of greens (chopped)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and spray a large baking sheet with olive oil spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, season the chicken with the fennel, garlic, onion, red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Use a wooden spoon to stir together until evenly combined.
  • Next, add the cooked quinoa, green onions, and goat cheese. Stir again, until everything is evenly combined.
  • Use a 1 tbsp measuring spoon, and scoop out a heaping tbsp of the mixture into your hand. Use the palm of your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, repeating with the rest of the batter.
  • Place the balls on the baking sheet, and lightly spray the top of them with cooking spray. This step will help them brown on the top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top and cooked through.
