Bestest turkey meatballs 4 thanksgiving etc.

Cutlets and meatballs

You can eat these delicious turkey meatballs anytime of the year, with or without a nice tomato based sauce, with or without pasta. But in my case, as a friend of mine decided to no longer invite us over for Thanksgiving (as she saw the light and decided instead to go spend the holiday weekend in Manhattan) and I was now faced with the task of hosting dinner at my house, I decided to add a new (and “lazy”) twist to my Thanksgiving dinner table. Forget a whole turkey, and just make some turkey meatballs. After all, who does not like a well seasoned meatball and who can object to my choice since I am the one slaving around in the kitchen? LOL I find the meatballs really good served alongside Food52’s Canal House Cranberry Port Gelee (or any other cranberry sauce of your choice, I guess). You can also make Marcella Hazan’s famous and wonderful tomato and onion recipe and let the meatballs sink in that delicious sauce. This recipe is adapted from a recipe called “Turkey Meatballs with Pancetta and Sun Dried Tomatoes” which itself is adapted from a recipe by Giada De Laurentiis @wendyweekendgourmet.com.
