Ingredients
  • Meatballs:
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs + ¼ cup for topping
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp fresh ground ginger, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced + more for garnish
  • Sesame Seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Sauce:
  • ⅓ cup hoisin sauce
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ground ginger, minced
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet or a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl combine all sauce ingredients including hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine meatball ingredients including ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, ginger, garlic, eggs, green onion, and ½ cup of sauce you made. (*Note* Reserve remaining sauce to top meatballs after cooked) Gently mix with your hands until well combined. Using a scoop or you hands roll the turkey mixture into balls roughly 1 inch to 1.5 inches in size (yields roughly 15 to 20 meatballs depending on size). Place meatballs on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle remaining panko breadcrumbs on top of meatballs.
