Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, apple cider, whole wheat breadcrumbs, beaten egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, sage, and thyme. Mix gently to combine without overmixing.
- Portion the mixture into 1–2 inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chilled meatballs for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove meatballs and in the same skillet, combine apple cider, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until it thickens.
- Return meatballs to the skillet, tossing to coat in the glaze. Simmer on low for another 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy warm with sides like roasted vegetables or fresh salad.

Notes
Mix gently to avoid tough meatballs. Chill before cooking to maintain shape. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach 165°F.
