Meatballs

Meatballs appetizers are so 1970's, but they work. They're simple and easy to make and can be make a zillion thousand ways. Here's a recipe I got from a friend for an instant party hit:

1lb of Ground Turkey
1/4 cup of oil to brown meatballs
1/4 Teaspoon of salt
1/2 Teaspoon of pepper
1 Table Spoon of Tarragon
1 Jar of Honey Barbecue Sauce
1/2 Cup of Ketchup.

Brown the meatball combination of the ground turkey, tarragon, salt and pepper. In the meantime mix the barbecue sauce and ketchup. Transfer thoroughly cooked meatballs to sauce combination.

Voila!
