Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Minute® Rice

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups Minute® Brown Rice, uncooked
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, divided
1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey or chicken
¾ cup green onions, thinly sliced, divided
½ cup teriyaki sauce, divided
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons orange marmalade

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare rice according to package directions.
  • Drain 1/2 cup crushed pineapple for meatballs. Reserve remaining pineapple and juice for sauce.
  • Combine ground turkey or chicken, cooked rice, 1/2 cup pineapple, 1/2 cup green onions, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, egg, ginger and nutmeg in large bowl. Mix well.
  • Scoop mixture and gently roll into desired meatball size (we suggest about the size of a golf ball); place meatballs on aluminum foil-lined baking sheet with sides. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until meatballs are done.
  • While meatballs are baking, to make sauce, combine remaining pineapple and juice, remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce and orange marmalade in medium saucepan; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup green onions.
  • Top cooked meatballs with sauce.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these meatballs with tofu instead of beef. They were still really good! The sauce is so flavorful and the tofu was cooked perfectly.

I made these meatballs in my slow cooker and they turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours. The meatballs were so tender and flavorful.

These meatballs were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them! I think I would use less brown sugar next time.
