Asian Inspired Turkey Meatballs With A Soy & Lime Dipping Sauce

Summary

Finding turkey mince these days is really simple. It is lean meat that has the added benefit of being tryptophan-rich, supporting that all-important serotonin for elevated mood. Let’s face it in this current COVID-19 or coronavirus period we could all do with some mood raising! the lean recipe also supports heart health.

Turkey does have the reputation of being a little bland, but the ingredients in this recipe combine to make for some great flavours. Ingredients such as the sweetcorn eliminate the need for any flour, making it gluten-free.
