Turkey meatballs with apple-mustard sauce: a delicious crowd-pleasing appetizer!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 0.25 cup minced onion
  • 0.25 cup minced water chestnuts
  • 0.25 cup applesauce (such as Mott's® Natural Applesauce)
  • 0.25 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoon dry mustard powder (such as Coleman's®)
  • 0.5 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup apple jelly
  • 1 cup applesauce (such as Mott's® Natural Applesauce)
  • 0.5 cup cider vinegar
  • 0.5 cup minced onion
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 0.25 cup chili sauce (such as Heinz®)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder (such as Coleman's®)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or more to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • In a large bowl, combine 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. Gently fold in ground turkey until ingredients are just combined.
  • Shape the turkey mixture into generous 1 1/2-inch meatballs and arrange them on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes until fully cooked. Use an instant-read thermometer; it should register at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the center.
  • Combine apple jelly, applesauce, cider vinegar, minced onion, ketchup, chili sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, dry mustard, and salt in a saucepan. Simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until flavors blend perfectly.
  • Add the cooked meatballs to the bubbling sauce, then cover and simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Finish by sprinkling the remaining parsley on top for a pop of freshness.
