Asian Turkey Meatballs
Courtesy of Everday Food Magazine Nov 2010. These little meatballs were a great quick meal. My girls gobbled them up (no pun intended) they each ate 4! We served them with carrot rice as described in the magazine but I think it would be good with sesame ginger rice or cilantro lime rice too. Recipe says you can cook and freeze for up to 3 mos. Can also be made with ground pork (I used a mix of turkey and pork).
