Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground turkey
- 6 oz box stuffing mix, crushed slightly I use Stovetop chicken flavor
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup onion diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 14 oz can cranberry sauce
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. To a large bowl add the turkey, stuffing mix, eggs, milk, onion and seasonings, mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Roll the mixture into about 24 meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the meatballs bake, to a large skillet add the cranberry sauce, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar, stir until smooth and slightly thick.
- Serve the meatballs over mashed potatoes with the glaze drizzled over top, or you can easily toss the meatballs in the glaze and serve as an appetizer.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- You can make these smaller and serve a lot more meatballs for a holiday appetizer.
- If the glaze is too thick add a dash of water until it’s the consistency you prefer.
- You may need to mix the turkey mixture with your hands to evenly incorporate everything.
