Ingredients

– 1 pound ground turkey
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
– 1 large egg
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust for spice preference)
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup soy sauce (for the sauce)
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
– Fresh cilantro (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Sweet and Spicy Asian Turkey Meatballs is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, ginger, egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, and Sriracha. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the Meatballs: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
5. Prepare the Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, in a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
6. Glaze the Meatballs: Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the meatballs, gently tossing them to coat evenly.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped cilantro over the glazed meatballs for added flavor and a pop of color.
8. Let Rest: Allow the meatballs to rest for about 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

These steps will guide you in creating these incredible meatballs effortlessly.
