I have made this recipe several times. I use siracha sauce in place of the chili sauce, but only about half what the recipe calls for. Whole egg and yes, I cut back on the chicken stock too. I always serve with mash potatoes, it needs the creamy to cut the hot savory! We love these.

I was very disappointed in this recipe. The meatballs were dry. I only cooked for four hours and the turkey just was a disappointment and the sauce was runny. I won't be making this recipe again.

Incredibly dry...turkey is far to lean for a recipe like this. The sauce is also pretty thin so adding corn starch at the end is helpful. I wouldn't make this again.
