Notes

  • Ground turkey works great here too, so feel free to use that.
  • You can certainly move the meatballs to the side of your pan while you make the sauce, but I prefer removing them.
  • While I made those chicken meatballs today wrapped in lettuce wraps with so many fresh ingredients, they're also great served with rice and noodles. It's one of those recipes you can make in 30 minutes and have it as a back up when you feel like a rice/noodle meal or salad, or something fresh like those lettuce wraps.
