Ingredients

Spicy Raspberry Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
  • 1/4 cup raspberry jam
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chile powder
  • Salt

Turkey Lollipops:

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1/2 small white onion, finely diced
  • 1 pound ground turkey

Directions

For the spicy raspberry glaze: Combine the butter and garlic over medium heat in a small saucepan and cook until the butter is fully melted, about 2 minutes. Add the jam, cayenne, vinegar and chile powder. Cook 2 minutes longer and sprinkle with salt. Pour half of the glaze into a bowl. Keep the other half of the glaze warming in the small saucepot.

For the turkey lollipops: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the egg, parsley, salt, sage and cayenne in a small bowl. Add the panko, garlic and onions to the mixture and blend to combine. Mix in the turkey, using your hands, until just combined. Do not over mix; this will result in tough meatballs.

Form the turkey mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange on a parchment-lined cooking sheet. Brush the meatballs with half of the spicy raspberry glaze from the bowl. Bake the meatballs until cooked through and slightly firm to touch, about 12 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, brush the meatballs with the warmed glaze.

Garnish the meatballs with cocktail skewers for serving.

    Very Tasty!!! I made the mixture about 4 hrs ahead of time and placed it in the fridge before forming meatballs. The meatballs were very moist but my family REALLY likes things spicy, so next time, I may add more of the seasonings. The glaze was to die for and defintely added an extra kick to the meatball! Will definitely be making these again!

    I had 1.25 lbs of super lean turkey (93/7 and increased the spices for the meatballs accordingly. When using this blend of turkey, I find it helps if I let the meat mixture sit about an hour in the refrigerator before shaping (so it doesn't fall apart. Based on reviewer comments, I made 3 times the amount of glaze. Unfortunately mine did not look as shinny as the ones Melissa made, but they were super tasty. We will definitely have them again!

    Yum! I used regular Italian bread crumbs bc I was out of panko. Next time I'll double the glaze--we loved it.
