These meatballs are delicious! The turkey meat is lean and flavorful, and the cranberry sauce adds a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making these again.

I've made these meatballs several times now, and they're always a hit. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also great for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I usually serve them with mashed potatoes and green beans.
