Ingredients

1/3 cup pine nuts 1 pound ground lean turkey 1 large egg, beaten 1 cup fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs, soaked in 1 ounce skim milk 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1/3 cup packed Swiss chard, spinach or arugula, finely chopped 1/3 cup dried cranberries, chopped 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage 3/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt 1/4 teaspoon ground marjoram 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Parchment paper 1 tablespoon olive oil 10 ounces store-bought cranberry chutney (optional)

Instructions

Heat a small pan over medium heat; add pine nuts and stir until aromatic and light brown, a few minutes. In a bowl, combine all ingredients from turkey through pepper, being careful not to overmix. Cover and chill for at least 2 1/2 hours. (Chilling will help meatballs keep their shape while cooking.) Heat oven to 400 °. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper; brush paper with oil. Roll meat into 1-inch balls; place on baking sheet 1/2 inch apart. Bake until balls are brown and bounce back to the touch, and internal temperature reaches 165 °, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove; let rest. Serve warm with chutney, if desired. DO AHEAD: These savory bites can be made up to 48 hours in advance. Store, covered, in the fridge; reheat at 250 °F for 15 minutes.
