THANKSGIVING MEATBALLS WITH CRANBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to broil.
• Make the meatballs: Pulse the bell pepper, onion, celery, garlic, rosemary and thyme in a food processor or blender until finely chopped; transfer to a large bowl. Add the turkey, panko, mayonnaise, egg, paprika, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of black pepper and mix together using a rubber spatula until just combined.
• Dampen your hands with water and shape the mixture into 26 meatballs, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (a 1-ounce ice cream scoop is helpful for portioning); arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the meatballs are golden brown and firm, 9 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the cranberry glaze: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the jalapenos. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cranberries, sugar, orange zest and juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until the cranberries begin to soften, and the skin starts to crack, about 2 minutes. Mash the cranberries with a potato masher and stir until the liquid from the cranberries begins to simmer and thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the meatballs to the skillet and toss to coat with the cranberry glaze. Transfer to a platter and serve with toothpicks.

EASIEST PARTY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Drop meatballs and about 1/2 to 1 cup teriyaki sauce in a crock pot.
• Add red pepper flakes to taste (I like them hot so I add quite a bit!).
• Simmer for about 20 to 40 minutes (depending on the size of the meatballs, how hot your crockpot is). You can test one meatball by cutting into it; once it is cooked through, they are done!
• If you don't have a crockpot, you can do this over the stove, too! Just make sure you keep it on low and keep checking to make sure the meatballs don't burn on the bottom!
• Enjoy!
