It’s fun to eat with our fingers, and these little sticks of meatballs won’t disappoint. Little bites of food on sticks are a festive presentation and encourage interaction. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat their dinner or to feed a crowd as a do-ahead cocktail party bite.

These Asian-spiced morsels take the comforting meatball and jazz it up with a spicy-sweet blend of ground turkey, ginger, cilantro, and garlic. They are fragrant and tasty, and when paired with a sweet-and-sour chili sauce for dipping or drizzling, they are guaranteed to be gobbled up.
