In a large bowl mix the ground turkey, chopped spinach, egg, premade stuffing, garlic salt and dried rosemary until well combined.
Scoop even portioned meatballs (about 1 ½ inch) and bake for 18-20 minutes.
Set aside and let cool.
To make the glaze, start whisking together the brown sugar, dissolved cornstarch, cranberry sauce, orange juice, cinnamon and rosemary in a medium sized sauce pot.
Bring to a boil for 60 seconds, glaze should start to thicken a little. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Toss meatballs in warm sauce or serve meat balls warm alongside the sauce.

Reheat in crock pot with sauce, in oven at 350F for 15 minutes or microwave.
