We are huge fans of these Honey Sriracha Ground Turkey Meatballs. They are quick to throw together and have the best flavor.
I typically just buy meatballs from the frozen section of the grocery store, but I have recently learned how easy it is to make your own from scratch.
The sauce that goes on top of these meatballs is incredible and the entire recipe comes together in a short amount of time, which makes these Honey Sriracha Ground Turkey Meatballs, a perfect weeknight meal.
If you don’t want to make your own meatballs, you could totally get a bag of ground turkey meatballs at the store and then mix up this sauce to put on top!

Recipe Modifications
You can make this recipe with ground beef. The recipe would not need to change. Check the meatballs when cooking to ensure they do not overcook. In my experience, beef tends to cook a little faster because of the fat.
