Honey Sriracha Glazed Meatballs

8 servings

Ingredients for the meatballs

• 2 pounds lean ground turkey
• 1 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

Ingredients for the sauce

• 1/4 cup Sriracha
• 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix together turkey, breadcrumbs, eggs, green onions, garlic powder and salt/pepper until well combined. Shape mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls (makes roughly 16-20 meatballs), and place spaced apart on prepared baking sheets (or pyrex dish) lightly sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.

While the meatballs are baking, combine all ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking continuously. Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes (the sauce will start to thicken), then toss with meatballs.

Serve immediately over brown rice and top with green onions and a few sesame seeds.
