For the turkey meatballs • 1 pound ground turkey • 1 Natural Grocers ® Brand Organic Pasture-Raised Egg • ¼ cup grated organic zucchini • ¼ cup finely diced organic onion • 2 teaspoons minced fresh organic rosemary • ½ teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt • ¼ teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Black Pepper For the cranberry glaze • ½ cup organic chicken broth • 1 cup frozen cranberries • 2 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Balsamic Vinegar • 2 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup • 1½ teaspoons minced fresh organic rosemary • Juice and zest from half an organic orange • 1 tablespoon Natural Grocers Brand Organic Coconut Aminos • 1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Organic Dijon Mustard

1. Preheat oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up. 2. Combine all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl and use your hands to gently mix until well combined, but do not overwork. The mixture will be loose and sticky. Shape into ping-pong-sized balls with your hands and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. 3. While the meatballs cook, bring the broth and cranberries to a boil in a large saucepan. Cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook until the cranberries have softened and burst, about 2 minutes. Use a fork or an immersion blender to thoroughly mash the cranberries. Add the remaining glaze ingredients, stir well, and bring just to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. 4. Remove the meatballs from the oven and transfer to the pan of glaze. Gently mix until the meatballs are well coated. Serve immediately.
