Tips:
- To make the meatballs more flavorful, use a combination of ground turkey and ground pork.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, sage, or thyme, to the meatball mixture for extra flavor.
- Be sure to cook the meatballs through before adding them to the cranberry glaze, or they will not be cooked evenly.

- If you want a thicker glaze, you can simmer it for a few minutes until it reduces.
- Serve the fall balls with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
