Apple Cheddar Turkey Meatballs

From A Year of Slow cooking
serves 6

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb extra lean ground turkey
1 egg
1 t kosher salt
1 t ground black pepper
1 t onion powder
1 green apple, peeled and shredded
1/2 c shredded sharp cheddar
1/2 c dried unsweetened cranberries

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, mix the ground turkey with the ingredients.

Make golf-ball sized meatballs, and drop them into your crockpot. For this amount of meatballs you could use any size over 3 quart, probably. If you have a large family, or would like to cook enough to freeze, double or triple the recipe. You can definitely stagger-stack the meatballs on top of each other... just use a larger crockpot.

Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours, or on low for 5-9---the cooking time will depend on how many meatballs are in the crock, and the size of your machine. The more full it is, the longer it will take to cook.
