1 lb ground turkey
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, do not drain
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 large red bell pepper, cut into chunks
2 -3 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

Combine the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl. Shape turkey mixture into 1 inch balls.
Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet. Add the meatballs & fry on all sides until no longer pink in the center, around 5 minutes. Place the meatballs on a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
Drain the juice from the pineapple into a bowl. Add enough water to the juice to make 1 cup of liquid.
Whisk the pineapple juice, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, & pepper flakes together.
Pour the sauce into the skillet & cook over medium heat until it thickens, stir frequently.
Once thickened, add in the pineapple, peppers, & meatballs. Continue to cook until hot. Serve over rice.
