Holiday Meatballs

This is an old throw-back recipe. My Holiday Meatball recipe uses ground turkey and is glazed in a combination of chili sauce and grape jelly. Sounds like it shouldn't work, but it does.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1  Lb. Ground Turkey
  • 1/4 Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 1/4 Cup Italian dry breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 Tsp. Garlic powder
  • 1/2 Tsp. Kosher salt
  • 1/4 Tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1/2 Cup  Chili Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup   Cranberry Sauce (jellied)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix the turkey, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Form the meat into appetizer size meatballs. You should get about 16 meatballs.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Add the olive oil. When really hot, add the meatballs and brown on all sides. Cook for a total of 8 – 10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
