Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup minced onion
¼ cup minced water chestnuts
¼ cup applesauce (such as Mott's® Natural Applesauce)
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dry mustard powder (such as Coleman's®)
½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup apple jelly
1 cup applesauce (such as Mott's® Natural Applesauce)
½ cup cider vinegar
½ cup minced onion
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup chili sauce (such as Heinz®)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder (such as Coleman's®)
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Mix bread crumbs, egg, 1/4 cup minced onion, water chestnuts, 1/4 cup applesauce, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder, and poultry seasoning together in a large bowl. Add ground turkey and gently mix together until just-combined.
  • Roll turkey mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place meatballs on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Whisk apple jelly, 1 cup applesauce, cider vinegar, 1/2 cup minced onion, ketchup, chili sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer cooked meatballs to simmering sauce, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer until flavors blend, about 10 minutes. Garnish with remaining parsley.
