Spicy turkey meatballs with sticky dipping sauce...

This is a dish, or maybe more of a starter or a great party finger food, is very easy to prepare and quite a healthy one too. I found the sauce a little bit too hot for me, not even spicy but pure hot - the hotness which came from the garlic and the ginger - next time I'll put less. You'll be able to make those meatballs from not only turkey or chicken meat but also sausage meat. I liked this recipe straight after reading it (took it from a very nice cookbook by Rozanne Stevens 'Delish') as I liked the idea of baking rather than frying the meatballs (something I've done for the first time!).

How to make it...

Ingredients:
- 450 g minced turkey breast
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 red chili, chopped (I used chili flakes)
- 4 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped (I used dry coriander, 2 tablespoons)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- salt and pepper
Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- juice of 1 lime (I used lemon juice)
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 5 cm piece of fresh ginger, grated

Preheat the oven to 220 C. Mix together all the ingredients for the meatballs. Mould into small meatballs, smaller than the size of a golf ball. Place the meatballs on a lined baking tray and bake for 15 minutes (not too long cos they will be dry and tough).
In the meantime in a small pot, mix all the ingredients for the sauce and heat gently for 5 minutes. Take off the heat and let it cool.
Serve the meatballs warm or cold with the dipping sauce.

Smacznego!
