In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground turkey, 1 egg, 1 clove of finely minced garlic, a little bit of onion, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.

Mix the ingredients together with your hands until well combined.

Use an ice cream scooper to portion out the mixture and roll it into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Place the meatballs into a skillet.

In a separate bowl, mix together 1 can of cranberry sauce and orange marmalade.

Add a little bit of chicken broth to the sauce mixture to help it reduce down.

Chop 1 jalapeno and add it to the sauce mixture, adjusting the amount based on desired heat.

Add a little bit of red pepper to the sauce for additional flavor.

Let the sauce reduce down while the meatballs cook in the skillet.
