Ingredients

GINGER GARLIC MEATBALLS

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 TBSP low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated or finely minced
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallion, white parts only
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs

HOT HONEY GLAZE

  • 2 TBSP raw/unfiltered honey
  • 2 TBSP sesame oil
  • 2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tsp sambal oelek More or less to taste, depending on how much heat you like.

GARNISHES

  • Sliced scallions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

Turkey Meatballs.

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix all of the turkey meatball ingredients together—from the ground turkey through to the panko—with your bare hands. (It's so much easier to properly blend and get an even mix with your hands.)
  • Rub a small amount of olive oil onto your hands and start forming the meatballs. Aim for about 2 TBSP of meat mixture for each meatball. Place the meatballs onto the parchment-lined baking sheet when done; repeat until the entire mixture is used up. You should get about 12 meatballs.
  • Transfer the meatballs into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160-165º F. (Check in at the 15 minute mark.)
  • While the meatballs are cooking, get your hot honey glaze going. Mix all of the ingredients for it in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oven when they're ready; let them sit for about 3-5 minutes. Once slightly cooled, transfer them to a bowl and drizzle them with the hot honey glaze. Gently toss to coat.
  • Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, and enjoy!
