Description
Delicious and sticky honey garlic turkey meatballs, perfect for busy weeknights and family dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free)
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and lightly oil it.
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs (about 1 to 1 1/4 inches each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and grated ginger until smooth. Coat the tops of the meatballs with half of the glaze.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning once and brushing with more glaze halfway through, until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and glaze is sticky.
- Transfer to a platter and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
For extra crunch, use panko instead of breadcrumbs. Grate onion for added moisture if desired. Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
