Sweet Sriracha Glazed Meatballs - All Phase

My husband loves this!
You can make the sauce to use on other dishes. It's really easy, after you make the sriracha. 

Speaking of sriracha, don't use store bought, as it has sugar. Use my recipe. The only kicker...it needs to ferment for a bit before it's ready to use.

For the meatballs:

1lb lean ground turkey
¼ medium onion
½ red bell pepper
1-2 garlic cloves
½ tsp each salt and pepper
1 jalapeno, seeded (optional)
1 handful fresh spinach



Place veggies and garlic in a food processor and pulse until everything is finely chopped – but not pureed. Scrape into a large bowl. Add the turkey, s&p. Mix to combine thoroughly. Form into 32 meatballs.

Put the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until done.



For the sauce:
