This dish packs an aromatic punch from turkey meatballs (made with a trio of garlic, ginger, and scallions), which sit alongside crisp marinated vegetables atop a bed of fluffy white rice. You'll finish it off with crunchy peanuts and a drizzle of creamy sweet chili mayo.

Our culinary team is preparing this recipe.
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots and grate on the large side of a box grater. Halve the cucumbers lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Roughly chop the peanuts. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sweet chili sauce.
Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with foil. In a bowl, combine the pork, breadcrumbs, and sautéed aromatics. Season with salt and pepper; gently mix to combine. Shape the mixture into 20 tightly packed meatballs. Transfer to the sheet pan. Bake 15 to 17 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Remove from the oven.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for pork.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the sugar and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Add the grated carrots, sliced cucumbers, and as much of the sliced peppers as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked rice topped with the baked meatballs and marinated vegetables. Drizzle with the sweet chili mayo. Garnish with the chopped peanuts. Enjoy!
