In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, worcestershire sauce and salt.
Form into 1.5 tablespoon meatballs and arrange on the baking sheet.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Honey Chipotle Glaze
In a medium pan, combine the honey, stock, salt, lime juice, adobo sauce and optional chipotle pepper.
Stir together and cook until completely combined.
In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water until no lumps remain. Stir into the pan and continue stirring and simmering until slightly thickened.
