These can be made 2-3 days in advance and simply heat and serve on the day of the event. Thanksgiving is around the corner and these Turkey Cranberry Bourbon Meatballs are a perfect bite-size nosh for your parties. The meatballs are extremely juicy, delicious, and filled with your favorite Holiday flavors. I always get asked a lot about quick appetizers and I feel meatballs are just such a versatile dish. They go from appetizer to full-on entree dish in minutes. Hence, every festive season, I always make tons of mini meatballs (depending on the occasion I use chicken, turkey or even veggies) and freeze them for later use.
Turkey Cranberry Bourbon Meatballs Ingredients
For Turkey Meatballs
Ground Turkey Egg Breadcrumbs – use glutenfree if need be Onion – thinly chopped Ginger Paste Garlic Paste Cilantro for Garnish Oil
Sauce Ingredients:
Bourbon Onion – thinly chopped Orange Juice – fresh or store-bought Orange Zest – optional Fresh Cranberries – deseeded & chopped (you may use frozen too) Hot Sauce – use as per choice Pinch of Cinnamon Ginger Powder Salt – as per choice Pepper
As our parties approach and depending on everyone’s demand, I make a fresh sauce and these meatballs. Just thinking about all these ingredients together makes me hungry!!!
So, all I did was combine all the above ingredients together and create this absolutely luscious ‘Cranberry-Bourbon Sauce’!! I so wanted to call it a ‘Zesty Cranberry Orange Bourbon Sauce’ but then that’s quite a mouthful and just gives away all the flavors.
Instead, keep the name simple and let the flavors do most of the talking 🙂 The moment you bit into these Turkey Cranberry Bourbon Meatballs, the zesty, warm, and kinda spicy-sweet flavors wake up your taste buds. Definitely leaving you CRAVING more and more.
