Description

It doesn’t get much easier than these Cranberry Turkey Meatballs. Make and serve in the crockpot! Use homemade or store bought meatballs and cranberry sauce. A great way to use up that Thanksgiving cranberry sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds turkey meatballs, cooked
  • 1 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (leftover is great!)
  • 1/3 cup brandy
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup water, depending on how thick your cranberry sauce is

Instructions

Notes

Substitutions and Additions. Instead of brandy use sherry, red wine, or whiskey or use apple juice or water for an alcohol free version. Add some spice with fresh or roasted jalapeno, serrano, or anaheim peppers. A dash or two of a favorite hot sauce is great. If the cranberry sauce is too sweet, add a dash of lemon juice or red wine vinegar.

Crockpot or Stovetop? Both will work. If making on the stovetop, keep on the lowest setting, stir frequently, and add water as needed to keep the cocktail meatballs from drying out and burning.
