Ground turkey is one of those things I never purchase unless it's on sale. It's always pricey but when its on sale, I stock up. I'm always looking for new things to make with turkey that aren't chili or burgers, but these meatballs were a great change. They include all the great flavors that you love from Vietnamese food and keep well through the next day. They make a great salad and they would be just as great in soup.
Summer may be ending, but I always love one of these hearty salads every day of the year. Give it a try when you need something delicious and different.
