Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

Meatballs
1 1/4 lb. ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean-up) and spray with cooking spray. Add all of the ingredients for the meatballs to a large bowl and use your hands to combine until evenly distributed - try not to overmix. Using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture (I just eyeballed it), form the meatballs by rolling the mixture into a ball in your hands. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. To make the sauce: Whisk together all of the sauce ingredients in a small pan and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. When the meatballs have finished cooking, remove them from the oven and brush liberally with the sauce then return to the oven for 5 minutes. Serve with remaining sauce.

Tips:

To ensure that your turkey meatballs are cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
For a more flavorful meatball, use a combination of ground turkey and ground pork or beef.
If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.
To make the teriyaki sauce, you can use store-bought teriyaki sauce or make your own using soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar.
Serve the teriyaki turkey meatballs with rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables.
