Cranberry Turkey Meatballs
I love everything about Thanksgiving! The family, fun and food. Let’s be real…I LOVE LOVE the food. Especially when there are leftovers! There are so many things you can make with those delicious leftovers! These bowls are inspired by the leftover cranberry relish we had and I used ground turkey to give me all the Thanksgiving feels! Gobble Gobble friends…you MUST try this!
Cranberry Turkey Meatballs
I made this a few days after Thanksgiving using leftover cranberry relish we had. Let me tell you that these were so amazing that if I could, I would have eaten a dozen of these meatballs in one sitting! I wanted to carry the Thanksgiving theme so I used mashed potatoes as my side. OMGosh these were so good…I may have already mentioned that. Of course you don't need to have these just around Thanksgiving time. Have the Thanksgiving feelings all year round!
