How to Make Glazed Turkey Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground turkey, 1/2 cup finely chopped apple (about 1 medium), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Shape the mixture into 16 meatballs, approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add meatballs to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup cranberry jelly (or your favorite fruit jelly) and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
  7. Pour the jelly-mustard mixture evenly over the meatballs in the skillet.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the glaze is thickened and bubbly, turning meatballs halfway through.
  9. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
