Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with foil for an easy clean-up.
- In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the meatballs. Using your hands, gently mix to distribute ingredients throughout the meat.
- Roll ground turkey mixture into meatballs about the size of a Mandarine orange. It should yield about 24.
- Place meatballs on the baking tray and roast for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare your sauce.
- In the bottom of a slow-cooker, whisk together orange juice and cornstarch until smooth. Add vinegar, honey, stock, salt, garlic and ginger and stir to combine.
- Remove meatballs from the oven and transfer directly to the slow-cooker. Cover with cranberries, sweet peppers and red onion.
- Gently stir meatballs, sauce and vegetables until ingredients are evenly distributed. Tuck meatballs down under the liquid.
- Cover the slow-cooker and place on Low for 7 hours. Alternately, cook on High for 4 hours.
- Serve over long-grain rice or mashed potatoes.
