Ingredients

1 egg
6 teaspoons soy sauce, divided
1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Meanwhile, for dressing, combine cornstarch and sugar in a saucepan. Whisk in broth, vinegar and remaining soy sauce until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. To serve, arrange meatballs over lettuce; garnish with onions and lemon. Serve with the dressing. Yield: 4 servings.
