Yield: 28 meatballs | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes
I feel like I’m secretly planning my Thanksgiving dinner all year long. I’ll randomly dwell on different potato dishes to serve or the sweet taste of cranberries throughout the year. When I start craving a small taste of the holiday season, I love making these Turkey Cranberry Meatballs.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup barbecue sauce
¼ cup orange marmalade
1 egg white
1 (20-ounce) package extra-lean ground turkey
½ cup dried cranberries
3 scallions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
1. In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce and marmalade. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white. Add the turkey, cranberries, scallions, soy sauce, salt, and pepper, and mix well until combined.
3. Shape the turkey mixture into 28 golf ball–size meatballs.
4. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
5. Add the meatballs and cook over medium-high heat until fully cooked through and evenly browned.
6. Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the meatballs and stir to coat. Lower the heat to low.
7. Place a lid over the skillet and cook for 3 minutes.
8. Place a toothpick into each meatball and serve.
