This recipe also works well with halved Brussels sprouts in place of the broccolini. Use whatever you have on hand!

½ medium, seeds removed and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Uncooked baby broccoli
1 bunch(es)
Onion
½ medium, thinly sliced
Olive oil
1 tsp(s)
Kosher salt
3 pinch(es), or to taste

3 pinch(es), or to taste
Uncooked 94% lean ground turkey
1 pound(s)
Onion
½ medium, grated
Garlic
1 clove(s), large, grated
Bread stuffing dry mix
⅔ cup(s)
Table salt
1 tsp(s)
Black pepper
¼ tsp(s)
Canned cranberry sauce
⅓ cup(s)
Ketchup
⅓ cup(s)
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place squash, broccolini, and sliced onion on the sheet pan, drizzle with oil, toss to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Evenly spread out the vegetables on the pan.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey, egg, grated onion, garlic, stuffing mix, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix cranberry sauce and ketchup. Add about half of the cranberry mixture to the turkey. Mix turkey until just combined (it's important not to overmix the turkey so that it does not become tough.) Shape turkey into meatballs (makes about 12) and place over the vegetables. Use a pastry brush to coat the outside of meatballs with remaining cranberry-ketchup mixture.
3
Bake 30 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and beginning to brown.
