Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 20 oz ground turkey
  • 1 egg
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ginger paste
  • 2 garlic gloves minced
  • ½ C breadcrumbs plain
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Glaze

  • C soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 T sriracha
  • 2 T brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon pure sesame oil
  • 1 T lime juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a large bowl combine all the meatball ingredients by hand. Be sure not to overmix. Shape into balls. Place balls on a parchment, foil or silicone baking mat lined baking sheet.
  • Bake meatballs 20 minutes. Remove meatballs from oven and increase the heat on the oven to 450.
  • While meatballs are cooking prepare the glaze by placing all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium/high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and stir often. Cook about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • When meatballs are done cooking, using a spoon, dip each meatball into the glaze to coat completely. Place coated meatballs back on lined baking sheet.
  • Place coated meatballs back in oven for 5-7 minutes until glaze is shiny and set.
  • Serve meatballs over rice.
