This is a variation of a few different recipes. I use ground turkey, to reduce the fat, but it tastes great made with any ground meat. My picky kids call these Sweetballs. They gobble them up, always asking for 2nds!!! This is great served over rice with a side of vegetables.

Tips for Making Sweet and Sour Turkey:
- To ensure that your turkey is cooked thoroughly and safely, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the turkey until the juices run clear when you poke it with a fork.
- To make sure your sauce is thick and flavorful, use a cornstarch slurry to thicken it. A cornstarch slurry is made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water until it forms a smooth paste.
- If you don't have cornstarch, you can use flour instead. However, flour will make your sauce cloudier.
- To add a touch of sweetness and acidity to your sauce, use a combination of sugar and vinegar. You can also use pineapple juice or orange juice.
- To make your sauce more flavorful, add some spices and herbs, such as garlic, ginger, and green onions.
- If you want your sauce to be spicier, add some chili peppers or cayenne pepper.
- Serve your sweet and sour turkey with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
