Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Wrap the meatballs in the bacon strips, and arrange evenly on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and crispy.
- Over medium heat, whisk together the McCormick® Turkey Gravy mix and water in a small sauce pot until the gravy is smooth. Simmer for 1 minute until slightly thickened. Keep warm until ready to use.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven, and brush all over with the gravy. Dollop the cranberry sauce on top, and garnish with rosemary. Add toothpicks, and serve.
- Enjoy!
