Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place an oven rack in middle position. Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil; coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika and breadcrumbs. Roll mixture into 2 inch balls. Arrange on the prepared sheet pan. Bake 20 minutes.
While the meatballs are baking, make the cranberry sauce. In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil; reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring often, until cranberries have popped, about 15 minutes.
Add meatballs to the sauce; toss to coat; remove from the heat.
Serve warm, garnished with rosemary, if desired.
8 servings.
To Make in Advance: Prepare meatballs without baking; refrigerate them covered up to 4 days or in the freezer up to a month. Thaw, if frozen. Cook according to recipe.
