How do you make Sriracha and Lime Turkey Meatballs?

When making this recipe, I used 99% fat free ground turkey, Sriracha hot sauce, fresh lime juice, parsley, and garlic. For the sauce, I used mayonnaise, nonfat Greek yogurt, lime juice and Sriracha.

I really loved the way the fresh, light flavor of the lime juice complimented the hot, tangy hot sauce. When using Sriracha, start off with a smaller amount than adjust amounts accordingly.

Especially if children will be eating these as well. I found the measurements I used to be perfect without being too overpowering. Each meatball is only 25 calories and 1 tablespoon of the dipping sauce is only 54 calories, so you can decide how many you want eat come game day. ~Enjoy!
