Thanksgiving Meatball Kabobs

Check out this Summersgiving recipe from Abby Thome -

"For our family, the summer months are packed with a constant rotation of family and friends gathering at our home to spend the warm days together. It’s rarely planned, and always the most fun to spend long sunny days together ending with a delicious meal outdoors. The Ohio Poultry Association is bringing together families together for Summersgiving, which is celebrated on June 22 this year, the Saturday after the summer solstice. It’s a time to celebrate the summer season, be grateful for loved ones, and bring America’s finest Thanksgiving food together.

I spent a few weeks racking my brain trying to think of how I wanted to pull together the theme of Thanksgiving food while bringing you all a recipe that felt fresh and summery! Behold, my Thanksgiving Turkey Meatball Kabobs with a scrumptious raspberry glaze on top. My friends, these meatballs are unbelievably good! Do you know what they remind me of? Those classic “party meatballs” that are made in the slow cooker - except mine have this delicious herbaceous addition and are grilled to perfection!

Paired with a light and lemony shaved Brussels sprout salad, this meal is a whimsical way to give a nod to Thanksgiving all the while embracing the summer months. Enjoy this one friends, it’s a keeper!"
