Appetizer - turkey, champagne and grape jelly meatballs? (post #71525)

I'm Looking for a Recipe...

Many years ago I found a recipe for cocktail meatballs in a healthy cookbook. Recenty there was a party and I couldnt find the book, nor the recipe anywhere. I also checked online but only found the ingredients turkey (or beef), grape jelly and chili. So I am looking for the recipe which contained ground turkey, grape jelly and Champagne. Is anyone familiar with this???? I sure hope so and if you do, share it with me. Thanks Marilyn

Hi Marilyn,

I've not heard of a variant with champagne-- seems like that would make the sauce watery. I suggest you make the regular grape jelly and chili sauce version, then serve the champagne on the side to drink! If you must, you could add no more than a cup of champagne to the sauce and then simmer it until it thickens a bit. Seems like a waste of sparkling wine though!

Thanks for your response and serving Champagne on the side is a good idea. However, I know the recipe had Champagne in it and it did not include any chili. I just dont remember what other ingredients other than ground turkey or ground beef. The meatballs were made very small. I see what you mean about it being juicy but there must have been something else in it that thickened it. Again thanks feijao
