Soy Chicken Thighs

This is the chicken that I served with my Red Cabbage Salad the other night.  I found this recipe on a blog called “Good Things Catered”, Recipes from a casual cook turned caterer turned back again. 

I just sort of stumbled across this blog while searching for Asian style chicken recipes and decided to give it a go, after all blog recipes are where it’s at these days;).

Moist and Tender Extra-Lean Turkey Meatballs

When opting to use all white meat in this recipe, my fear was that the extra lean turkey meat could have the tendency of drying out. So the challenge was to find a way to keep these babies moist and tender.

And guys, I am proud to say, “Mission Accomplished”!
