Thai Turkey Meatballs

Tonight I made Thai Turkey Meatballs. I have to say it was delicious. Every bite was full of flavor. The sauce itself clumped up on me. I think I cooked it too hot. Next time I will add a little more Sriracha to add more heat to it. This recipe made me exceptionally happy because my basil plants has been thriving and I haven't had anything that requires a large amount of basil until now. This will be a go to meal for us. I will switch between this and my turkey meatloaf muffins. 




For the meatballs:
1 lb ground turkey (or ground chicken)
2 egg whites
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
2 teaspoons Sriracha
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic

For the sauce:
§   
§  1/4 cup soy sauce  
§  2 teaspoons fish sauce
§  2 teaspoons sugar (I used splenda)
§  3 cloves minced garlic
§  2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
§  1 tablespoon minced scallions
§  2 teaspoons Sriracha
§  2 teaspoons cornstarch


Bake at 350 degrees for 14 minutes. They will be a little crispy on top and softer in the middle. Perfect!
