Description

Meatballs that don’t have to be pre-fried before saucing.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Ground Turkey (or Lean Beef Round)
  • 1 cup Cornflake Crumbs
  • ⅓ cups Dried Parsley Flakes
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • ⅓ cups Catsup
  • 2 Tablespoons Instant Minced Onions
  • 1 can (1 Pound Can) Jellied Cranberry Sauce
  • 1 bottle (12 Oz. Bottle) Chili Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all but last four ingredients in a large bowl. Form into walnut-size balls. Arrange in a single layer in a 1/2 sheet pan/jelly roll pans.

In a saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until melted and smooth.

Pour sauce over meatballs. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

Note: be sure to use meat that has a low fat content, so that the meatballs can be baked without pre-cooking. This is a perfect recipe to use low-fat turkey. Very few, if any, people will be able to tell they aren’t made from beef.

These are always a hit at parties—no leftovers.

This is a really good recipe. The sauce is very tasty and so easy. I used beef (not turkey) since my family prefers it, but the meatballs were easy to mix together and not dry at all. :)

Personally, I cooked the meatballs and drained them and then poured the sauce over.

Great recipe– thanks!!
