HONEY-MUSTARD TURKEY MEATBALLS



Honey-Mustard Turkey Meatballs image

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

For a break from beef, try these tender turkey meatballs. Don't use extra-lean turkey breast; it dries out too easily.
