Ingredients

2 c mayonnaise

3 tbsp sriracha

3/4 c unseasoned rice vinegar

1 tsp kosher salt

6 c daikon, julienned

6 c carrots, peeled and julienned

3 Large eggs, beaten

3/4 c minced cilantro leaves

10 Cloves garlic, minced

1-1/2 c green onions, finely chopped

3 tbsp fish sauce

3 tbsp sriracha

3 tbsp sugar

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tbsp black pepper

3 lbs GROUND TURKEY

12 (8-Inch) soft baguettes, cut lengthwise

3 c cilantro leaves

3 Large jalapeño peppers, sliced very thin

Directions

Sriracha Mayo:

Mix mayonnaise and sriracha together.

Cover and chill.

Pickled Daikon and Carrots:

In a non-reactive bowl, toss the four ingredients together, coating the vegetables with the vinegar.

Cover and allow flavors to blend at room temperature.

Spicy Turkey Meatballs:

Gently mix all ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until mixture is well chilled.

Using a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop, portion a level scoop of the mixture for each meatball. (Fill the scoop only to the edge of the scoop, not a heaping scoop.)

Lightly spray hotel pans with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange meatballs in an even single layer on pans, about 1-inch apart.

Bake meatballs in a 350 degree F preheated oven, until lightly browned and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 15-20 minutes.

Assembly and Service:

Spread a layer sriracha mayo on cut sides of the baguettes.

Drain the vegetables and add a layer of the pickled daikon and carrots.

Arrange hot meatballs on each sandwich.

Sprinkle with cilantro and jalapeño slices.
