The only thing I find more satisfying than scarfing down seasonal dishes during the holidays is being able to enjoy these meals long after the season has passed. One such holiday staple, roasted turkey, is far too time-consuming to make throughout the year, but my craving for hot turkey topped with spoonfuls of a tart cranberry sauce is strong all year long. Fortunately, I've found a recipe that's simple to make and still packs that seasonal flavor: JoJo Siwa's easy, but mighty cranberry-glazed turkey meatballs from episode one of Messenger's new content series, How We Friendsgiving.
In the first episode of How We Friendsgiving, JoJo Siwa and her best friends Jenna Johnson and Luke Eisner offer up a new twist on a classic Thanksgiving flavor combination via these cranberry-glazed turkey meatballs. What's great about this recipe is that it's so straightforward, anyone can achieve nearly the same results regardless of their experience or equipment. With just a handful of ingredients, including ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, canned cranberry sauce, and preprepared sweet chili sauce, JoJo and her BFFs have concocted a fresh twist on a holiday classic, and somehow made it so much easier than what you'd expect.
Being able to enjoy the taste of turkey and cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving (and beyond), using a recipe that doesn't take days to prep and hours to cook, is the ultimate game-changer. Considering that I finished the first batch in less time than the meatballs took to bake, it's safe to say that this holiday revamp will be making a weekly appearance in my kitchen.
