Sticky, sweet, and slightly spicy Asian glazed meatballs made with ground turkey, perfect for a quick weeknight supper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground turkey
  • 2 tsp sesame oil (for the meatballs)
  • 1 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (for the meatballs)
  • 2/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (for the sauce)
  • 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil (for the sauce)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger (for the sauce)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl combine the ground turkey, 2 tsp sesame oil, breadcrumbs, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, beaten eggs, and 1 tsp minced garlic. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into 1½-inch meatballs and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20–23 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink inside (internal temp 165°F).
  5. While the meatballs bake, make the sauce: combine hoisin, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, ground ginger, soy sauce, and sriracha in a skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  6. Remove the meatballs from the oven and transfer them into the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat each meatball.
  7. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, topped with sesame seeds and sliced green onion.

Notes

These meatballs can be served over rice, noodles, or in lettuce cups. For meal prep, refrigerate in an airtight container.
