I love sauces and glazes and anything that you can dip something into. A simple sauce can really elevate anything, just like this one.  I made a batch of my turkey pasta meatballs and simmered them in this simple Firecracker sauce.  But truth be told, this sauce is fire on anything.. wings, grilled chicken or shrimp, egg rolls, French fries, baked zucchini chips, stir fry…. Hell, it would make a rubber flip flop 🩴 taste delicious

Turkey Pesto Meatballs with Firecracker Sauce 
.
.
2 lb ground turkey 
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup pesto sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
Preheat oven to 375F.

Line a sheet-pan with foil and spray with non stick spray.
Mix everything in a bowl and combine well. Roll mixtures into golf ball size balls and lay on the sheet-pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Remove from fridge and bake for 20 minutes.

Firecracker Sauce:
1/2 cup hot sauce (I like Frank’s) 
1 cup  brown sugar
2 tbls apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 
Combine everything in a pot and stir to combine.  Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.  Let simmer for 10 minutes. 

Drop the cooked meatballs into the sauce and let cook together for 10 minutes, basting occasionally
