I really liked your Chinese-Style Turkey Meatball recipe. Since I am on a low sodium I modified and added the ingredients. I used olive oil, dash garlic, ginger, black pepper, and green onions. In addition, used 1 T. Tarmari soy sauce and 1 T. Worchester sauce instead. Very delicious and the meatballs held together. -
Easy with great flavor. The sauce was wonderful with the meatballs. Made for PAC Fall 2012.
