Sriracha Turkey Meatballs & Pasta in a Sriracha-Soy Sauce.

Let's see how many times we can say sriracha in a single sentence =)

This meal was beyond epic. The meatballs were moist & delicious. The vegetables were steamed for just a minute or two and then simmered in an amazing sauce of low sodium soy sauce, sriracha, rice wine vinegar and honey. This dinner was super simple and so ridiculously good! Graham and I devoured this, and I hope you enjoy it as well.

Sriracha Turkey Meatballs & Pasta in a Sriracha-Soy Sauce
(Meatballs adapted from Kalyn's Kitchen, Sauce adapted from the Pioneer Woman)

Meatballs
Ingredients:

• 1 clove of garlic; minced
• 3 green onions; minced
• 1 1/2 lb. 93% ground turkey 
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 cup panko (or any other bread crumbs)
• 1 1/2 T. sesame seeds 
• 3 T sriracha 
• 1 t. salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack on top of a large baking sheet (I used the rack that comes with most roasting pans).
2. Mix all of the above ingredients together. Spoon out meat and roll into 1"-1.5" balls. 
3. Place on baking sheet so that they are not touching and bake for 30 minutes. 
4. When finished turn the oven off and turn the broiler on. Broil for a few minutes to give them extra color, then turn them over and broil the other side until golden. 

Going in.

1. Whisk together soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha and honey. Set aside.

6.  Add the sauce, cover & reduce the heat to low.
