Number Of Ingredients 15

MEATBALLS
1 c Panko bread crumbs
1/4 c Parmesan cheese
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 apples, Granny Smith or Fuji, diced small
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 c onion, sauteed
SAUCE
1 c apple cider vinegar
1/2 c maple syrup
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Dice onion and apple.
  • 2. Sauté onion in a small amount of oil till semi-transparent.
  • 3. In a large bowl, mix the onions and diced apple with the remaining meatball ingredients.
  • 4. Form into meatballs using an ice cream scoop with swing lever (makes the perfect size). Place meatballs about 1 inch apart on a large oiled baking pan or cookie sheet.
  • 5. Cook in a 350 F oven for 20-30 min, checking often not to overcook as these will go into the skillet with the sauce for about 5-8 more minutes of cooking.
  • 6. Combine sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.
  • 7. Simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Look out! the vinegar is pungent!
  • 8. Place meatballs into large skillet.
  • 9. Add sauce.
  • 10. Cook over low heat for 5-8 min. Stir only enough to coat the meatballs or they will want to fall apart. Can just skip this step and use it as a dipping sauce... but they are so good like this!

These meatballs were easy to make and very tasty. I used a combination of ground turkey and ground pork, and they were still very moist. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but these meatballs were really good! The apple cider vinegar and honey gave them a great flavor. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans.

I found these meatballs to be a bit bland. I think they could use more seasoning.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more apple cider vinegar or honey next time.

These meatballs were delicious! I used ground chicken instead of turkey and they turned out great. I also added a bit of chopped onion and garlic to the mixture.
