Turkey Meatballs With Lemongrass And Ginger
- 1/3 c. rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 3 tbsp. fish sauce, divided (see Note)
- 1 tbsp. Sriracha sauce, optional
- 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp. finely chopped mint
- 1-1/4 lb. ground turkey
- 1/4 c. cold water
- 2 tbsp. minced fresh lemongrass, white portion only
- 1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 14 small lettuce leaves
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar, 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce, Sriracha, cilantro and mint. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- In a large bowl, combine the turkey, water, remaining 2 tablespoons fish sauce, lemongrass, ginger, garlic and salt. Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the meatballs and pan-fry, turning them to brown evenly on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Drain on paper towels. Return the meatballs to the baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Line a platter with the lettuce leaves and arrange the warm meatballs on top. Garnish with the green onions and serve the sauce on the side.
