Shrimp & Turkey Asian Meatballs

Preheat oven to 400ºF. In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey, shrimp, garlic, shallots, onions, ginger, carrots, red pepper flakes, egg, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs until thoroughly mixed. Form into 2-inch balls and place on baking tray lined with waxed paper.

Heat canola oil in a heavy, oven-proof skillet or cast iron pan on high heat. Brown meatballs in skillet on both sides, about 2 minutes, and place skillet in hot oven for 10 more minutes until cooked through. Remove and serve immediately with dipping sauce.

For the dipping sauce:
Whisk together chili sauce, sambal oelek, mirin wine, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, and fresh cilantro. Serve along side meatballs.

Note: Sambal oelek can be found at specialty Asian markets and select grocery stores. You can substitute the sambal oelek for Sriracha sauce.
