It’s always around this time of year you see turkey here there and e v e r y w h e r e. I mean what with Christmas just around the corner, it does makes sense. And don’t get me wrong, I love me some turkey, but I also love putting a spin on traditional food. Oh, hello Sage and Cranberry Turkey Meatballs!
I was thinking the other day ‘dang it’s been a hot minute since I’ve whipped up some meatballs’ and with turkey on the mind, it got my brain ticking. The product of such ticking was indeed these delicious turkey meatballs. Ya’ll, I’m telling you these are so freaking tasty. Turkey and cranberry is a combo we all know and love and when we add our good friend sage to the mix, things just get real intense. They pretty much just taste like Christmas. It’s fab. Before we take a look into what’s in these delicious bad boys, let’s see how easy they are to make.

My personal preference is to bake, not only because it’s less hassle, but also because you tend to get a more even golden crust on the meatballs.
Turkey has a bad rep for being dry and/or bland and that’s something I was conscious of when creating this recipe. To tackle the ‘bland’ aspect I’ve truly packed these meatballs with so many gorgeous flavours. From nutmeg, to sage and clementine and parsley, like I said earlier, these are essentially balls of delicious festivity.
