In the spirit of Christmas, I thought I would share with you a recipe that brings cranberries to life, along with your taste buds. Normally, cranberries are used in sweet dishes, but this dish really plays with the savory side of this seasonal berry. The chili sauce and red pepper flakes really give the meatballs a little kick. This is great for seasonal parties as an appetizer or as the main course for four when paired with veggies.
INGREDIENTS
· 2 lbs. ground turkey
· 2 large eggs
· 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
· 1 tsp. salt
· 1/2 tsp. pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme
· 2 tbsp. cooking oil
· 16 oz. can jellied cranberry sauce
· 12 oz. jar of chili sauce
· 1/4 cup of orange marmalade
· 1/2 cup water
· 1 tbsp. spy sauce
· 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
· 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
INSTRUCTIONS
· Combine first 8 ingredients to make the meatballs. Roll into small to medium size meatballs with hands. Heat cooking oil in pan over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in the pan until fully cooked (browned on the outside). Drain oil and put aside.
· Keep the pan over medium heat and add the remaining ingredients over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add meatballs and simmer for 20 minutes, reducing heat.
· These can be transferred to a dutch oven to stay warm through out the night or just served on toothpicks.
Mangia!
