Ingredients
Serves 4
• 1 pound Ground Turkey for meatballs
• ¼ cup Panko Bread Crumbs for meatballs
• 1 Egg for meatballs
• 1 Green Onion thinly sliced for meatballs
• 1 cloves Garlic minced for meatballs
• ½ tablespoon Ginger freshly grated, for meatballs
• ½ teaspoon Soy Sauce for meatballs
• 1/8 cup Soy Sauce for sauce
• ¼ teaspoon White Pepper for meatballs or 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper for meatballs
• ½ tablespoon Cornstarch for sauce
• 1 tablespoons Brown Sugar packed (for sauce)
• ¼ teaspoon Ginger Ground, for sauce
• 1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder (for sauce)
• 1½ tablespoons Honey (for sauce)
• 1/8 cup Water (for sauce)
• Sesame Seeds for garnish (optional)
• Green Onions chopped, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400° F. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, Panko breadcrumbs, eggs, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and pepper. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined.
2. Roll the mixture into 1 to 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Place meatballs onto baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray and bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; set aside.
4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic powder, honey, and ⅓ cup water; bring to a simmer. Add cornstarch into mixture and stir until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes.
5. Toss meatballs with teriyaki sauce, sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds.
