This is a great recipe for the whole family! For those who prefer no spice, you can serve the meatballs without the sauce drizzled. For our family of 6 I make the recipe 1.5 times.
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Servings (6 meatballs/serving): 7
Ingredients:
2 lbs lean ground turkey
1 C whole wheat breadcrumbs
2 eggs
1/4 C onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
pinch crushed red pepper
For the sauce:
1/4 C honey
2 Tbsp sriracha
3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
3 Tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 tsp ground ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp sesame oil
Garnish (optional):
1/4 C green onions, diced
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Lightly spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray (or cover with foil)
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients for meatballs until thoroughly combined.
- Shape into balls that are about 1 1/2 inches in size. Should make between 35-40 meatballs,
- Set each metball on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes or until meat is cooked through to 165 degrees.
- While the meatballs are cooking, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat while mixing sauce continuously, then reduce heat to low and let sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove meatballs from over and pour sauce over the top. If desired sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve with cooked quinoa, brown rice, or vegetables.
