This is the time of year when friends gather for parties at home or tailgates at a stadium. It’s football time, and watch parties are the name of the game.
So what will you be making or taking for the game? At a recent football party, I put a little Asian flair in my offerings and made turkey meatballs with a soy-based sauce that were gobbled up quickly.

A favorite Korean dish, bulgogi, inspires the meatball sauce. It’s a sweet-savory sauce that works well with almost any protein you put with it. I made the meatballs with ground turkey, but ground beef and chicken also work beautifully. I thought turkey would give it a little bit of a different edge, and it did. It’s a little more healthful than ground beef, which none of us need in great quantities.
