Cranberry Meatballs

If you're looking for a great Thanksgiving appetizer, or maybe a way to use up some leftover cranberry sauce, you've come to the right place.

These cranberry meatballs are absolutely scrumptious. They are sweet and savory, with a perfect tang from the cranberry sauce. Everyone will be heading back to the appetizer table for seconds!

As a bonus, this recipe is also very easy to make. You'll spend some time rolling out the meatballs, but otherwise the recipe cooks easily on the stove top. It's a great dish to make all season long.

These delicious cranberry meatballs are great as an appetizer for Turkey Day or as a main dish for any day of the week. This recipe makes a large batch, so it will serve 6 as a main meal or 10+ as an appetizer.

Mix first eight ingredients. Add turkey; mix lightly but thoroughly.
Shape into 1-in. meatballs. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake until a thermometer reads 160°, 20-25 minutes.

These look so good! Turkey and cranberry sauce is such a classic combination. I love the idea of putting them together in one recipe.

I've been looking for something to bring to a Thanksgiving dinner other than pie, and these meatballs look perfect! I love the flavor combo of turkey and cranberry, was pleasantly surprised to see they are gluten free. I could also see my husband and I eating these as an easy weeknight meal.

I love serving this around Thanksgiving or any time in the fall, really. It works beautifully for parties and potlucks or even for a quiet night in with the family.
