Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the ground lamb, panko, shallot, garlic, yogurt, egg and parsley to a large bowl. Gently mix until everything is combined. Don't overwork the lamb.
Roll the mixture into small cocktail-size meatballs and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
While the meatballs bake, add the cranberry sauce, BBQ sauce, honey mustard, brown sugar and bourbon, if using, to a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until everything is melted together and the sauce is smooth and warmed through.
Add the cooked lamb meatballs directly to the saucepan and gently toss until they're completely coated in that cranberry BBQ sauce.
Keep warm over low heat until you're ready to serve. Transfer to a serving dish, add cocktail picks and watch them disappear.
