12 large cloves garlic, halved
3 tablespoons grated fresh garlic
Several dashes bottled hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/3 cup honey
2 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 egg white, beaten
1/3 cup finely chopped green or red sweet pepper
1/3 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 tsp salt
For sauce, in a blender container, combine garlic, ginger, hot pepper sauce, preserves, honey, lemon peel, sesame oil, and vinegar. Cover and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine egg white, sweet pepper, oats, salt, and 1/3 cup of the sauce. Add turkey; mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-inch balls. Arrange meatballs in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Brush with some of the remaining sauce and bake 5 minutes more until golden and glazed. Remove from oven, and drain on absorbent white paper towels. Cook remaining sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through and slightly thickened. Serve sauce over meatballs. Makes 36 meatballs.
