Asian glazed turkey meatballs are an irresistible blend of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors, perfect for any gathering or family meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Mix until well combined without overworking the mixture.
  3. Shape Your Meatballs: Roll about two tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the Oven: Bake meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  5. Prepare the Glaze: While meatballs are baking, whisk together honey and Sriracha in a small bowl until smooth.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Once baked, drizzle or brush the meatballs generously with the honey-Sriracha glaze before serving.
