Meatballs are always popular and this puts a fall twist on them. They're unique because apples and Dijon mustard are added to the ground turkey. After being baked, the meatballs remain nice and moist. Then they're coated with a light balsamic glaze that gives the turkey meatballs an amazing sweet and tangy flavor, These make a great appetizer or main dish (serve over long-grain rice). Apple + turkey with sticky sauce. Yum! These are great to make in bulk on a Sunday afternoon. Then you just grab throughout the week for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
