Asian Glazed Turkey Meatballs are tender, flavorful meatballs coated in a sticky, sweet, and tangy Asian-inspired glaze. These meatballs are perfect as an appetizer, main dish, or party snack, offering a healthy twist on classic favorites.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb ground turkey
    1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
    1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
    1 large egg
    2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    For the Glaze:
    1/4 cup hoisin sauce
    2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
    1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    1 teaspoon rice vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)
    1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, panko, green onions, garlic, ginger, egg, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Shape mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and golden.
  4. While meatballs bake, prepare the glaze by whisking together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sriracha, and ginger in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Remove meatballs from oven and toss gently in the warm glaze until coated.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  1. Use ground chicken or pork instead of turkey.
  2. Add finely chopped water chestnuts or shredded carrots for extra crunch.
  3. Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a full meal.
  4. Drizzle with extra sriracha or chili sauce for added heat.
  5. Freeze cooked meatballs for easy future meals.
  6. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  7. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
