Equipment

Ingredients

Sauce:

  • 2cupsfresh or frozen cranberries6 oz.
  • 1cupsugar-free seedlessraspberry jam
  • 1/4cupwater
  • 2Tbsp.granulated allulose

Sausage balls:

  • 1poundTurkey sausage*
  • 2cupsgrated Monterey jack cheese8 oz.
  • 1Tbsp.mincedfresh sage leaves
  • 1tsp.fresh thyme leavesremoved from the stems
  • 1serving Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow
  • 1cupcheese crumbs or pork rind crumbs3 oz.

Instructions

Make the sauce:

  • Place the cranberries, raspberry jam, water, and allulose in a heavy bottom, two-quart saucepan.
  • Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring until the jam and allulose have dissolved.
  • Reduce heat to medium and simmer until all the cranberries have popped and the sauce has reduced by about a quarter and has started to thicken. If the sauce gets too thick, you can add more water, a tablespoon at a time. Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  • Pour the sauce through a fine mesh sieve set over a heat-resistant dish. Use a silicone spatula or large spoon to push the sauce through the sieve, stirring to separate the sauce from the cranberry skins.
  • Cover the sauce with plastic wrap and set aside.

Make the sausage balls:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or oiled tin foil.
  • Combine the turkey sausage, grated cheese, sage, and thyme in a large bowl and mix.
  • Add the Chicken Soup Keto Chow and the cheese crumbs to the mixture and mix again until they are incorporated into the meat.
  • Use a tablespoon or half-ounce scoop to make 28 half-ounce portions and roll them into balls; if the mixture sticks to your hands, use cold water to dampen your hands between balls. Place the shaped sausage balls on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the lower rack of the oven (12-15 minutes) until the cheese is starting to brown, and they register at least 165°F on an instant read thermometer.
  • Transfer sausage balls to a serving tray and serve with cranberry sauce.
