Secret Ingredient Asian Turkey Meatballs – Stop Ordering Takeout!

Ditch the usual meatballs! These Asian Turkey Meatballs, packed with a crunch, can be a delicious appetizer or meal in 30 minutes.

=== RECIPE ===
Ingredients:
1 1/2 Pounds (680g) Ground Turkey
1/4 Teaspoon Each Salt & Pepper
1 Garlic Clove, Minced
1 Teaspoon Fresh Ginger, Grated
Zest Of 1 Lime
1/4 Cup (30g) Bread Crumbs
2 Scallions, Chopped (Green Part Only)
2 Tablespoons Cilantro, Minced
3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 Egg, Beaten
1 8 Ounce (227g) Can Sliced Water Chestnuts, Drained And Cut In Half
1 Jar of Asian Plum Sauce
2 Tablespoons of Oil

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a bowl, combine the turkey, garlic, ginger, lime zest, breadcrumbs, scallions, cilantro, soy sauce, and egg. Mix well to combine.
Using the ice cream scoop, form the meatballs and lay them out on a sheet tray. After all the meatballs are formed, insert a piece of water chestnut in each one. (You may have to reform the meatball.)

Heat the oil in the skillet and sauté the meatballs until browned. Transfer to the sheet tray and heat in the oven for 10 minutes. Their internal temperature should be around 160°F (71°C).

Add the finished meatballs to a small bowl. Drizzle the Plum sauce over the meatballs and toss them in the bowl to coat them. Serve warm or cold.
