If you enjoy food porn as much as I do (obviously you do, because you follow this blog), I strongly recommend following Buzzfeed’s Tasty channel. In less than a minute a video, you quickly find inspiration for future meals, and perhaps a bit of a drooling session.
These meatballs are super delicious, and pretty fast to put together. If you happen to have any leftovers, toast up some sourdough bread, add a little Trader Joe’s cilantro salad dressing and have at it.
Ingredients
Meatballs:
- 2 lbs ground turkey (or chicken)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup panko crumbs (gluten-free breadcrumbs are a solid substitute)
- 2 tbsp diced green onions
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp minced ginger
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (or use the gluten-free option Tamari)
Sauce:
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp minced ginger
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce (more if you want an extra kick)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or gluten-free flour
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Mix together ground turkey, egg, panko, green onions, garlic, ginger and soy sauce.
- Mold small meatballs together and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake meatballs for 20-25 minutes, just shy of finished.
- While the meatballs are cooking, make up the sauce: mix together soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sriracha, garlic, ginger and sugar.
- Once the ingredients are all combined, add in the cornstarch or stir until sauce thickens.
- Finish off cooking the meatballs in the sauce.
- Serve up with coconut-lime rice or quinoa, garnish with green onions, toasted sesame seeds.
