Thai Turkey Meatballs

PUBLISHED 10/2/2019

These meatballs are crazy good! They bake for only 15 minutes and are so easy to make. The flavors compliment so well, making them a true competitor for traditional style meatballs; not to mention very Perfectly Imperfect! Serve them with toothpicks as an appetizer or over rice, vegetables, or Asian style noodles.
