We don't just have to enjoy turkey and cranberry on Thanksgiving.  These fabulous cranberry turkey meatballs are a wonderful way to enjoy this classic holiday combination.  I prefer to serve these meatballs on their own rather than tossed in sauce with pasta so that their flavor can shine.  Serve these with wild rice and roasted brussel sprouts and you got yourself a harvest meal,

I love cranberries also. I made fresh cranberry sauce past month with a new recipe. I also use dried cranberries in salads and I like it to drink. Cranberry Turkey Meatballs are definitely a big hit and very tasty too. If you choose to make your own meatballs, ground turkey really works well. Thanks for the awesome nutritional information. Cheers.
