turkey or chicken meatballs are so easy and you can pretty much put whatever you want in them... usually i try to put in as much veggies as possible... i actually make these a lot but this was the first time i made it "thai" style... it's a pretty healthy dish, the only thing that would be kind of bad is the little bit of sugar in the sauces...
the asian whole wheat dried noodles was a perfect pair for this dish.. kinda felt like good old spaghetti and meatballs but with an asian twist :)
enjoy!
