Ingredients
- 24 oz. turkey meatballs (frozen)
- 12 oz. chili sauce
- 1 recipe cranberry sauce or 1, 14 oz. can jellied cranberry sauce.
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a crock pot or slow cooker, whisk together the cranberry sauce and chili sauce. Pour in the meatballs and stir to combine with the sauce.
- Place lid on, and cook on high for up to 2 hours, or on low for 3-4 hours or until the sauce is hot and bubbly and the meatballs are heated through. Serve with toothpicks and garnish with green onions.
Notes
- slow cooker
- If making with my homemade cranberry sauce recipe, I recommend blending the sauce in a blender so it's smooth.
- You can use a 14 oz. can of jellied cranberry sauce too!. I would just add some orange juice and orange zest to give it the sweet and tangy combination we're looking for. You could also add in a few red pepper chili flakes since my homemade cranberry sauce recipe is a little spicy!
- After you add the chili sauce to the slow cooker, swish a little water around in the bottle to make sure you've gotten out every last drop.
- You can serve these cranberry meatballs straight from the Crockpot (set the temperature to "Warm") or spear them with toothpicks and set them on a tray for people to pick from.
- Leftovers will last 3-4 days properly stored in the fridge.
- Reheat in the microwave.
