Sweet Chili Cranberry Meatballs Appetizer Recipe



March 9 is National Meatball Day!

To celebrate, consider making my Sweet Chili Cranberry Meatballs appetizer recipe. It’s a fun dish for parties that adds a tasty twist to the standard meatball-and-toothpick app.

The recipe calls for using frozen turkey meatballs, which I recommend because it will make the dish a lot healthier….which means you can feel good about gobbling up more than one!

This recipe was featured on Forbes.com, in their article Top 10 Most Original Cranberry Recipe Ideas. Exciting!
