Pineapple Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs
From: Aubrey Cota @ realhousemoms.com/
With Easter coming up I’m thinking about holiday foods and that shifts my focus to appetizers, side dishes and desserts! These Pineapple Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs could easily be an easy dinner or made into a delicious appetizer! We had them in a rice bowl with stir fried bell pepper, onion and pineapple chunks and topped with teriyaki sauce, and the kids really enjoyed them. When I made them into an appetizer at home I was inspired by my Glazed Kielbasa Bites. I made the meatballs and then once they were cooked I topped them with a pineapple chunk and glazed them with the dipping sauce. They were out of this world. If you are making them for a party you could cook the meatballs the day before and then reheat in the oven with the pineapple and sauce. If you’re making them for a party you may want to make a double batch because they go fast!!
