Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb Mushrooms finely chopped (about 3 cups)
  • 1 cup Onion finely chopped (about ½ large onion)
  • 1/2 cup Celery, finely chopped
  • 1 lb Ground turkey breast
  • 1/2 cup Coarse cornmeal or dry cornbread stuffing
  • 1/2 cup Dried cranberries
  • 1 Egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp Poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF. Use parchment paper to line a sheet pan, or apply oil with a brush or spray.
  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Form 24 to 1½-inch meatballs out of the mixture using a meatball scoop or melon baller. When put on the sheet pan, the meatballs should be quite moist yet still maintain their shape. Place 1 inch apart on the pan.
  • Bake the meatballs uncovered for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the middle. Serve warm as is with mini skewers or with cranberry sauce for dipping. I added a sprinkle of parsley for extra color!
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
