Korean-Style Turkey Meatballs
These Korean-Style Meatballs take a bit of time to make but it's worth it. They are moist, juicy and full of flavour. They pair well with cooked rice. Sprinkle them with roasted sesame seeds, chives and crushed chile peppers. I suggest making a double or triple batch and freezing the extras.
