Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the meatballs from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green onions. Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients until they are well combined, but be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to
- 5 inches in diameter. Place the formed meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
- Once all the meatballs are formed and placed on the baking sheet, drizzle a little extra hoisin sauce over the top of each meatball for added flavor and glaze.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can turn them halfway through cooking for even browning.
- While the meatballs are baking, you can prepare a dipping sauce by mixing additional hoisin sauce with a splash of soy sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
- Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve the hoisin glazed turkey meatballs warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired, alongside the dipping sauce.
- Enjoy your delicious Asian-inspired hoisin glazed turkey meatballs with rice, noodles, or a fresh salad!
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, be gentle! Overmixing can lead to tough meatballs. Just mix until everything is well combined.
- Size Matters: Aim for meatballs that are about 1 to
- 5 inches in diameter for even cooking. This size ensures they’re cooked through while remaining juicy.
- Extra Glaze: Drizzle a little extra hoisin sauce on top of the meatballs before baking for an added layer of flavor and a beautiful glaze.
- Check Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Dipping Sauce: Enhance your meal by mixing additional hoisin sauce with a splash of soy sauce and sesame seeds for a quick and tasty dipping sauce.
- Serve with Sides: These meatballs pair wonderfully with rice, noodles, or a fresh salad, making them a versatile option for any meal.
- Garnish for Color: Add a sprinkle of chopped green onions on top before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
