Easy Cranberry Meatballs image

This is a versatile recipe to be used either as a main dish or as an appetizer. You simply adjust the size of the meatballs. I like to serve it during the holidays as an appetizer. It works well to curb appetites while your guests await the main meal. -Frances Venator, Ottumwa, Iowa

These meatballs were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less cranberry sauce.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
