Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Use your hands to shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
  • While the meatballs are baking, prepare the cranberry sauce mixture in a saucepan.
  • In a small saucepan, combine cranberry sauce and soy sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven and add them to the cranberry sauce, stirring gently to coat them well.
  • Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
