Sabra Thanksgiving Turkey Meatballs

it's october, and in a mere 2 days we will be sitting down to a good 'ol canadian thanksgiving dinner.
if you know me at all (and by now you probably should) you are well aware of my excitement for this holiday.  it's my all-time favourite.  like favourite, favourite!

all crucial holiday components are met:

  • food
  • family
  • weather
  • football
  • annual thanksgiving walk/run (so we can tackle food round 2)

a girl can't ask for more. right?

so this year in addition to everything we typically consume food wise, while watching copious amounts of football, we are also adding a new dish to the playlist.  
thanksgiving meatballs.  
hello!
all the flavours you already love about this holiday in a one bite wonder.  
thanks sabra for stepping up and providing us with a new thanksgiving tradition.  hummus reimagined.  #success
