Instructions

1- Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2- Prepare the Meatball Mixture:

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, milk, paprika, salt, black pepper, Cayenne pepper, and parsley.
Mix all ingredients gently until just combined to avoid toughening the meatballs.

3- Shape the Meatballs:

Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking.
Form the mixture into 1-inch round balls.

4- Arrange for Baking:

Place the meatballs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Lightly spray them with cooking spray to ensure even cooking.

5- Bake and Broil:

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Broil for an additional 2 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meatballs is 165°F (74°C).

6- Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce:

While the meatballs bake, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha in a large bowl.

7- Coat the Meatballs:

Once the meatballs are done, carefully transfer them to the bowl with the bang bang sauce.
Toss gently until all meatballs are evenly coated.

8- Serve:

Serve the saucy meatballs over a bed of white rice with a side of your favorite veggies.
Enjoy!
