Potsticker Turkey Meatballs with Sweet Soy Sauce

 

I grew up having potstickers fairly often so maybe I have a soft spot for them, but when I tried these meatballs they tasted just like them to me. These meatballs are sooo good! They have so much flavor and are so unique. Our whole family devoured them. They are extra delicious served over some white rice and a drizzle of the sweet soy sauce. Less is more with the sauce, but it adds another level of great flavor. All in all, you need to try these! Definitely one of my favorite new recipes!
