Sweet and Sour Turkey Meatballs image

I'm always looking for recipes that are big on taste, but quick and easy to prepare, with little clean up. This one has it all. It's my son's favorite recipe and he requests it whenever he comes home to visit. I often double the recipe so that we have leftovers for the next day's lunches. -Michele Orthner, Edmonton, Alberta
