Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground sage
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 14 oz can whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 1/4 cup bbq sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • parsley for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix together turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sage and thyme until well combined.
  3. Using about 3 tbsp of meat, roll into balls. Place on parchment paper and bake for 14-16 minutes or until internal temp reads 160F.
  4. While meatballs are cooking, heat a sauce pan over medium heat. Add cranberry sauce, bbq sauce, sriracha, and worcestershire. Stir occasionally until bubbling and let cook for 5-6 minutes. Once berries have softened, mash with potato masher. Stir and let cook another 2 minutes or so. Turn off heat.
  5. Add meatballs to a bowl and pour cranberry sauce over top. Mix meatballs up until completely coated. Pour meatballs into a smaller serving dish and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with toothpicks!
