I serve this appetizer often during the holidays. It's nice to have a turkey meatball that doesn't taste like you should have used beef. These tangy meatballs can be prepared ahead and frozen, so even drop-in guests can be treated to a hot snack. -Bonnie Durkin, Nescopeck, Pennsylvania

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 10 Servings

20 30 50

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
6 tablespoon Dijon mustard, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1-1/4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons honey

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the egg, cracker crumbs, cheese, onion, ginger and 3 tablespoons mustard. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into 30 (1-in.) balls.
Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until juices run clear; drain.
In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and onion powder. Stir in pineapple juice until smooth. Add pepper and honey. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in remaining mustard until smooth.
Brush meatballs with about 1/4 cup sauce and bake 10 minutes longer. Serve remaining sauce as a dip for meatballs. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

I made this recipe the year that I saw it in TOH magazine. My family loved it! I made it exactly according to the recipe, and then...I lost my magazine! I'm SO glad to have this delicious recipe in my hands again. It's a great main dish, served with rice, or an equally delicious appetizer.
