Turkey gives a different twist to these slightly sweet and spicy meatballs. For the holidays, I serve them on a tray lined with parsley and garnished with red pepper or pimientos. -Audrey Thibodeau, Gilbert, Arizona

These meatballs were easy to make and tasted great! I used a combination of ground turkey and ground chicken and they were very moist. The cranberry sauce added a nice tartness.

These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe by using a different type of breadcrumb or adding some milk to the mixture.
