The second course for my Spooky Soiree is a ghoulishly good batch of homemade turkey meatballs served with marinara sauce for dipping. I’ve coined these bad boys: “Brains and Blood” to go along with my super scary Halloween party theme. You can make the meatballs up to 2 days ahead of time. Let the party continue…
