Asian Glazed Turkey Meatballs

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and green onions until all combined.  Using a small cookie scoop, make 1-inch sized balls and place on a prepared baking sheet (you should get about 25-26 meatballs).

Step 3

Pop the meatballs in the oven and bake for about 13 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 4

While the meatballs are baking in the oven, combine soy sauce, honey, beef broth, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and pepper in a small saucepan on the stove and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken up.

Step 5

If you feel like your sauce is too thin, mix 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1/2 tablespoon of water in a small bowl to make a slurry and pour that into the sauce to thicken it up even more.  Mix in 1/4 tsp to 1/2 tsp crushed red chili flakes (depending on how much heat you like) and turn off the heat.

Step 6

Once the meatballs are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl (or you could keep them on the same pan) and coat them entirely with the sticky sauce.

Step 7

Spoon meatballs over fluffy brown rice, drizzling with extra sauce, and top with green onions and sesame seeds.  Enjoy!
