This recipe for Apple Turkey Meatballs with Balsamic Glaze is the perfect appetizer. Serve with toothpicks on a bed of fresh baby arugula. It’s also just as perfect as a main dish, served over individual salads for dinner. Or as a snack. Or as lunch. You get the picture…

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a casserole pan.
2. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, garlic and onion. Sauté for 4 minutes, until soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

4. Meanwhile, wipe out the skillet, add the glaze ingredients and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
5. After removing the meatballs from the oven, place in a single layer in the skillet with the glaze. Coat all sides of each meatball, cooking over low heat for 5 minutes.
6. Remove from the skillet and serve warm. Enjoy!
