Vietnamese Turkey (or Pork) Meatballs

• 1 pound ground turkey (or pork)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 green onions, finely chopped
• 1-2 T minced lemongrass (omit if you can’t find it)
• Half bunch cilantro, finely chopped – about 1/2 c (or use parsley)
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil or vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce
• A few grinds of black pepper

Mix turkey, garlic, green onions, lemongrass, cilantro, egg, oil, soy sauce and black pepper in a bowl.  With wet hands, form the mixture into about 1 1/2″ balls.

Add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Place about half of the meatballs in pan and cook, turning, until browned all over and cooked inside, about 8 minutes.  Do the same with the other half.
