Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening glaze)
  • 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening glaze)
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  4. Baking Method: Place meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
  5. Skillet Method: Add a tablespoon of oil to a skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  6. While meatballs are cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  7. Bring the glaze to a simmer over medium heat. If you prefer a thicker glaze, whisk together cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir it into the simmering glaze. Cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
  8. Once meatballs are cooked, add them to the saucepan with the glaze. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

  • These meatballs are great for meal prep. Store cooked meatballs and glaze separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • For a healthier option, reduce the soy sauce or use a low-sodium version.
  • Serve over rice, noodles, or with your favorite vegetables.
