Follow these simple steps to create your Sweet & Spicy Asian Turkey Meatballs:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, ginger, beaten egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, chili paste, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
