German-Style Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Meatballs
Oktoberfest is a wonderful time of year, and I made these appetizers to highlight what reminds me of Königsberger Klopse, dressed up with Black Forest speck. If you can't find speck (a German dry cured bacon), prosciutto is the next closest substitute. Feel free to serve with senf (German mustard) und weissbier (wheat beer). Prost!
