Asian Turkey Meatballs

These meatballs were an easy, light weeknight meal.  They ended up being a little in need of flavor we thought, so we used a spin on the sauce that's suggested with the recipe and also some Trader Joe's sweet chili sauce.  I served them over rice noodles and we just poured some of the sauce over the whole thing!  You could also serve them as an appetizer.
