Asian Turkey Meatballs




10 oz ground skinless turkey breast
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and minced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup fine dried bread crumbs
2 Tbs minced water chestnuts
1 egg white
1 Tbs reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup sweet and sour sauce
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a nonstick jelly-roll pan
with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, lightly combine the turkey, pepper, scallions,
bread crumbs, water chestnuts, egg white and soy sauce. Shape into
32 equal meatballs, about 1" each; place on the pan. Bake until
cooked through and browned, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a 2-quart microwavable dish, combine the sweet and
sour sauce and applesauce; microwave on High until hot and
bubbling, 2 minutes. Stir in the meatballs and serve with
toothpicks.

• 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
• 1 cup brown rice
• 1 cup water

• 1/3 cup light soy sauce
• 1/3 cup water
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• 1 teaspoon sugar

DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, mix together ground turkey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon minced garlic and 2 teaspoons ginger. Form into 16 meatballs and roll into ovals. Cover and refrigerate.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine rice with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender.
3. Preheat the grill or broiler. Arrange rice, lettuce leaves, carrots, scallions, radishes and red peppers onto a serving platter or place each into a small bowl. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup water, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 tablespoon ginger, and sugar. Divide into 4 small dipping bowls.
4. Thread two meatballs onto each 10 inch skewer. Grill or broil for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides. If broiling, line the broiler pan with aluminum foil and drain fat after 6 minutes.
5. To eat, place a leaf of lettuce onto the palm of your hand, spoon on a little rice, then a meat roll, and a few of the vegetables. Roll up and dip in dipping sauce or spoon sauce over.
