- 3 T fish sauce
- 1 T snipped cilantro
- 2 t sugar

All the "stuff" in the turkey keeps it really moist and the sauce is SO good. We lovingly call it crack sauce in our house because when I make it we just can't stop! We LOVE it! I make this probably once a week, its great!Also I use splenda instead of sugar. You also don't have to grill the bundles, I often just broil them in the oven.Have a great day all!
