Slow Cooker Turkey Appetizer Jelly Meatballs

I have a meatball fetish at the moment, been happening for about a month now, just can’t get enough!! So when I saw that #SundaySupper had a theme of meatballs I knew I had to jump right in with Slow Cooker Turkey Appetizer Jelly Meatballs.

For Super Bowl this year I used frozen pre-made turkey meatballs, put them in the slow cooker, frozen, with hot sauce, and then served them with a drizzle of blue cheese dressing. Could not have been easier and they were a huge hit!!

So I did the same for this recipe, which only took a matter of minutes more to create the jelly/chili sauce and voila, super easy meatballs that will be gobbled down at any event. Thank you so much Sue Slusser Lau of A Palatable Pastime for this great event. 

I have had these tangy jelly meatballs before but not done in the slow cooker and not with frozen meatballs. The recipe turned out fantastic, so easy and so delicious.

Look at how gorgeous they are, I know you want to reach in and grab one!! This recipe would be fantastic on game day but would also work great for any holiday like Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

That is when everyone loves to gobble down their turkey!!
