Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup plain dry bread crumbs
  • ½ cup very finely chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ¼ cup 100% grape juice
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

For the Sauce

  • ¾ cup 100% grape juice
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp minced onion

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray a 10- x 17- x 1-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix the turkey, egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, grape juice and mustard until blended.
  • Moisten your hands and shape the turkey mixture into 1-inch balls. (It is important to make them all the same size so that they cook evenly.)
  • Place the meatballs on the prepared pan so that they do not touch.
  • Bake the meatballs 15-18 minutes or until cooked through.
  • In a large skillet, combine the grape juice, ketchup, mustard and onion. Bring to a simmer. Add the cooked meatballs and stir gently until the meatballs are coated with the sauce. Simmer 5 minutes. Serve warm.
