Ingredients
Sweet and Sour Sauce:
- 1 (20-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 1 cup chili sauce
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 orange, zested and juiced
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Neely Dry Rub
Meatballs:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the sweet and sour sauce: Mix the tomato sauce, peach preserves, chili sauce, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and Neely Dry Rub in a medium saucepan. Simmer while you prepare the meatballs.
For the meatballs: Combine the turkey, shallot, panko, Parmesan, egg, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper together in a large bowl and mix well. Shape the mixture into the size of walnuts and place in a single layer in a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish.

I made these for a family party and they were a bit hit, very simple to make. I will gladly make these again, but will probably reduce the amount of sauce and use something more commonly available than the apricot preserves.

I feel like I need to rate the meatball separately from the sauce. The sauce was not my cup of tea. The flavors were weird together. It was not gross, but not something I will make again. The meatball itself though was really good. I could really taste the parmesian cheese and they weren't dry at all. I would definitely make the meatball exactly as stated again.
